I sometimes believe that we all "trip" through life....with some fascinating successes and some really difficult falls---sometimes flat on our face. When I fall (both literally and figuratively) I sometimes stay there for a moment, take a deep breath and pick myself back up again. What choices do we really have? And how long can we stay down there?

For some people it takes longer to bounce back up. They need time and space to recover, think things through, learn a lesson and begin to heal from the experience. But eventually they too will get themselves up again and get back into the game. I guess it's what taking chances are all about; if you're willing to step out of your box, try something new then you risk the failure that may come with it.

Some people are not willing to take risks. They stay where they are emotionally comfortable. And just when I believe I've overcome one thing, sure enough something ELSE pops up with the same question: Do I want to step out of my safety zone AGAIN? Oddly enough, I usually do. I keep taking those risks and have, over the years, taken some pretty difficult falls. And then I remember an old favorite and head to You Tube to listen:
" I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW"
