Every Time You Get Knocked Down

… get yourself right back up again.

It doesn’t matter WHO knocked you down, WHY they knocked you down or HOW they knocked you down, if you’re down, it’s your responsibility to get yourself back up. No one else can do it for you.

You may not be in control of getting knocked down, but you are certainly in control of staying there. Staying on the ground is a choice. And it’s a choice that will ALWAYS keep you down.

Don’t focus on the drama of being knocked down. It’s just a story you tell yourself. Learn to re-frame that story to find the empowerment behind it. Pick yourself up, pick up the pieces, and put them back together the best way you know how in that moment and keep moving forward.

Sitting on the ground in the rain, just gets you wet. Learn to pick yourself up and run for shelter. You just have to decide that you want better for yourself. Get up and give yourself half a chance to find it.

You Don’t Always Get What You Want

…. you get what you choose.

And they are not always the same thing.

The only thing we have in life are our choices. We live and die by them. The quality of our life is completely contingent on the quality of the choices we make.

How often do we complain that we are not getting our needs met in a certain relationship or at a certain job? But how can we complain when we set it up that way? Who is to blame really?

In life, you will NOT always get what you want, but you will certainly get what you choose. So if your choice is not giving you the desired results you would like, it might be time to make another choice for yourself.

You are always in control of your life – at every juncture. No one has control over your life unless you give it to them. You are not being punished, you are not a victim of your life, if you are not getting what you want or what you need, it is time to look at the choices you have made thus far and make some new choices.

Don’t spend your time trying to change people to make them what you want or need. That’s not your job. Your job is to change yourself and the choices you make so that they better suit your needs and wants.

Life is a delicate dance of all the choices you make. So remember, it’s not about your needs and wants. It’s about what you are choosing that will determine the quality of your life. You don’t always get what you want, but you will certainly get what you choose. So choose wisely.
