The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Everyday life presents so many opportunities to fail or succeed. Each of us has fallen prey to both. The one, success, is desired. The other, falling (failure), is not desired. Falling is not always as bad as it may seem. We learn many valuable lessons in falling. The least of which is not the lesson that we need to rise.

Falling is not always bad. But staying down is. If you have fallen, make it a point to rise again. Those successful people that you admire are not people that have not fallen. They are people that have risen after the fall; often over and over and over again. I have heard it said that failure leads to success.

Don't feel bad everytime you fall. But just know that you must rise, dust yourself off, and continue down the road. There will you find success.
