Fall seven times and stand up eight. –Japanese Proverb
Life has its own way of doing things and how we face those things is another thing. Let me quote a Japanese proverb and it says “Fall seven times, stand up eight”. These few words are simply power packed in telling us how to face life. Grab it by the horns and ride. Life is not about never falling, it’s about getting back on our feet every time we fall.
Facing challenging moments are parts and parcel of life. Whether we missed the bus, a failed project, or just a rough day. But those moments don’t define you. What defines us what we do next when we hit the wall. And every time we hit the wall, we learn something, we get better at things, we get stronger.
Imagine learning to ride a bike. You fall, you get back up. You fall again, and get back up, until one day, you’re cruising without thinking twice. That’s the beauty of resilience! It’s a skill you build by simply refusing to stay down. So next time life gives you a reason to quit, remember: you have the power to stand up and keep going. Because every time you rise, you get closer to where you want to be. Keep pushing—your eighth try could be the one that changes everything!
Empowering Tip: Every setback is just a setup for your comeback.
