Get Up
By Greg Hickman
It has been said that your success is
insured when you’re willing to get up at least one more
time than you get knocked down. Hey, we all get knocked
around. Like it or not, it’s just a part of everyday
life. No one, not the most or least talented among us,
are exempt from the trials and tribulations of day to
day living. But it’s how we respond to these temporary
setbacks that will in large measure determine how far we
go and how high we fly in life.
When life deals you a crushing blow, you
must condition yourself to quickly pick yourself up off
the canvas – and get back into the game. Winners always
do. They realize that it’s OK to get knocked down – and
that it’s perfectly normal to feel saddened, hurt or
disappointed about being knocked down. Let’s face it,
nobody likes to lose or encounter difficulty. But the
winners also recognize that the getting up part is
ninety percent of overcoming any adversity placed in
their paths.
Don’t worry about getting knocked down.
Since it’s going to happen regardless of whether we like
it or not, especially when we’re passionately and
enthusiastically chasing your dreams, we should vow to
keep getting up each and every time. Laying there,
moping and feeling sorry for themselves, isn’t going to
get them to the winner’s circle.
Never lose sight of the fact that you
were placed here for a reason. There is a song in you
that desperately needs to be sung. There are just too
many good times, good things and great people out there
to enjoy to ever allow a temporary setback to hold you
down – or hold you back. When you vow to get up every
time you get knocked down, you’re well on your way to
living the life others only dream about.
