"Fall seven times, get up eight."

This Japanese proverb tells us that we should never give up and that life goes on. But what do we do after we get back up? It can sometimes be hard to know what to do after pulling yourself back up, especially when your emotions are still all over the place.

I was watching a video for the Olympics where babies would try to do things and then they would fall over. Every time there was a parent telling them to get back up and that they were okay. After a while, it is easy to get frustrated at your failures and the things that are getting to you, but these are the experiences that make you who you are.

There are good days and there are bad days. Sometimes things are just awful, but it doesn't mean that it will always be this way. After you get back up, take a moment to process what is going on. Breathe and relax. I believe that everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason isn't automatically apparent, but one day you will find the reason why you went through that trial. You will be better in the end because of it.

When you first get hurt, it can be hard to move on. Minutes and hours pass by slower and you don't know how you're ever going to make it. Eventually, days will go by faster and one day you will wake up without any pain. It's your hope for the future and friends behind you, that will get you through all of the tough days. So yeah, you may fall a lot, but you will be getting up even more. If life was easy, then we would be bored and not be the people we are today.
