Thought of the Day: How fast do you bounce back up?

Its not about how hard you fall it’s about how fast you pick yourself back up.

Over the weekend I was having a hard time, let’s just say if I was the type to give you a play by play about my current state in life my facebook status  would read “WTF is going on Sh*t is getting very real and I’m not feeling it!!” I can admit I’m in a little bit of strange place right now and some days are better than others but on Friday night it wasn’t so great. I called my friend Ty to basically cry in her ear and to talk it out and I’m not kidding you in a matter of 40 minutes I was back at it in prime fighting shape! I realized in our convo that it is not about how hard you fall but rather how fast you are able to pick yourself back up. We all have hard days, crazy thoughts and feelings of giving and shutting everyone out but if you just take a moment to have your melt down, breathe and then recoup you will not only feel better but also be further a head than you were before. I’m an imperfect person so I acknowledge the days when my heart just isn’t in it but I don’t let it stop me, as a matter of fact I don’t let it stop me for more than an hour. I refuse to have a whole day where I’m just mopping about my problems, instead I cry about it, reflect on it and then flip it to see it from a more positive point of view. I’m a better and more powerful person when I’m able to quickly bounce back up from a rough fall.
