Vince Lombardi, American football player and coach, once said, ‘‘It’s not whether you get knocked down; it’s whether you get up.’’
It’s natural for life to be tough. It’s no news that folks are knocked down in the journey of life. We hear daily that people set out with beautiful plans only to fail along the line. Yes, this happens and they are no longer news!
The main issue is what you did thereafter; how did you manage the situation to bounce back?
Life teaches us the good, the bad and the ugly. Sometimes we feel like throwing in the proverbial towel. We just feel like quitting and leaving the battlefield. No! Champions don’t quit easily. They fight on until they win. Giving up is not a smart solution.
People celebrate success and not failure. Be inspired by the crown you will win – when you are declared the winner. Get up again from where you fell. Pick up the remaining pieces and launch back! Yes, this is the way of successful people. When they are knocked down, they get up and fight back until they win.
The man on the voyage will naturally experience ups and downs. The storm will naturally come up from time to time to threaten the journey but the man on the journey determines his direction. The visionary man on the expedition will continue the voyage in the raging storm. He moves on because he knows his direction and how to get there. He never allows the storm to take him to another direction. The storm rages, but the man on the mission controls the sail.
Get up and fight again. Believe you can. Believe you will win.
The loser is not the one who is knocked down. The main loser is the one who gets knocked down and stays down without fighting back to come up again.
We have what it takes to bounce back. We are unstoppable!
Get up and fight again!
Keep moving forward.
Believe in yourself.
Believe in your dreams.
Believe in your efforts.
Believe in your products and services.
Believe in God.
This is your day.
