Falling is necessary, failure is a choice.

I’ve spent the last month learning how to skateboard as part of Chapter V of my Project Lion Mind challenge, and the biggest thing I’ve learnt is that falling is necessary but failure is a choice.

Every single thing we try to accomplish will present us with varying levels of resistance; the greater the potential achievement, the greater the resistance will be.

This resistance will cause us to fall.

It will hurt and we will bleed.

It will nearly convince us to stop, to change tact, to go a little easier.

Don’t.

Self-awareness gives us a little look behind the curtains of trickery that resistance has.

It lets us know when we are being fooled, and gives us the chance to fight back.

That’s our power, that choice we get when we know we’ve got one.

Fall, stumble, trip, struggle, and bleed…………..then get back up.
