Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.

My two cents: One of the greatest gifts we can teach our children, is the discipline and courage to get back up when life knocks us down.

Anyone can celebrate and enjoy success and accomplishment.

Success, accomplishment or loss are not constant.

Loss is the test which will decide our fate.

How do we react when life kicks our butt?

Practice, get ready for the inevitable loss.

Learn to focus, learn to let go, then keep moving, keep risking, keep living with the same passion.

Once we have acquired inner well-being, it is easier to maintain our fortitude or to recover it quickly, even when we are confronted externally by difficult circumstances.

Does such peace of mind come simply because we wish it to?

Hardly. We don’t earn our living just by wishing to.”
