Mary’s Minute

"The one who falls and gets up is stronger than the one who never tried. Do not fear failure but rather fear not trying."

                                                                  - Roy T. Bennett

We all have times when we don’t feel like we are on top of our game – well, I guess I shouldn’t speak for all of you, but I sure do.  What if when we fall we didn’t see it as failure, but as a win because we tried? 

I am trying not to dwell on the funk that the pandemic has created, but the truth is that it continues to be a challenging time. For me the surest way to see the positive within the negative, is to remember that in trying and getting back up, we become stronger.  The fact that life gives us challenges and opportunities to fail is something to celebrate because we have chances to learn and grow through our mishaps.   

In this way we can celebrate 2020 because it has given us plenty of opportunities to grow!  And so, we should celebrate falling because in falling we can get back up!

                                                                            Have a great week!
