“It’s not whether you get knocked down. It’s whether you get up.” – Vince Lombardi
Life has a way of throwing some pretty tough punches in your direction. Sometimes those hits can really wind you.
How you deal with those hits, now that is a matter only you can decide upon.
You could curl up into a little ball, feel sorry for yourself, licking your wounds, and make a decision that you can’t get up again, losing the battle.
Or you could take stock of what happened, and plan a strategy where you get up, and fight back. Show the world you’re stronger than that.
I’ve said this before but I do firmly believe that though it may not feel it at the time, He only throws the punches he knows we can deal with because He knows of our inner strength. It’s up to us to find the inner strength to get past whatever barrier is keeping us down.
Seriously, look back on your life I am sure you can pinpoint tough times, downward spirals, where you thought that nothing would ever get better.
Now take a look at yourself now.
You are still here.
You are still standing.
You got through it.
See, He knew you could do it, now keep that faith in yourself alive too!
Have a wonderful Sunday Peeps, and Spidey and I will be back next week!

Great quote and thoughts of yours, Sis! So true! It is not about how many times life knocks you down but how many times you stood up again and hit back! I think that is kind of a quote from the Rocky movies…. lol!
