Motivation on the Run

Why is it, when you’re cruising along, minding our your own business, and everything is going your way, the bottom falls out? A moment of reality steps in and reminds you of your frailties, your insecurities, your mis-steps.

Life can assert itself that way, but the important thing is your reaction. How do you react when the rug is pulled out from under you?

One of my favorite phrases is, “Its not how many times you fail, its how many times you get up.” The implication, of course, is that you get up one more time than you fail. There are times that is not easy.

The question is:

• how success oriented are you?
• How determined are you?
• Are you willing to get up one more time?

If you get back up, you have taken the first step to success. Don’t be fooled, there are more steps, but it begins with the first one.
