Keep going

I think we've all been through that embarrassing moment, when you lose balance and just fall flat on the ground. People will react differently; others will laugh in your face and make u feel like an idiot ; others will tell you sorry but won't help you up and then you find those that help you up, dust you up while secretly laughing at you. Human nature. I feel like that's how we approach life, every time we lose focus and fall.
We go about life so carefully afraid we might miss a step and end up on our knees. We are afraid of being wrong, afraid of making mistakes.
What if I fail? What will people say? I don't want to be laughed at. Mhmm everybody wants to laugh but no one wants to be the joke.

So there I was today, taking a morning jog ; honestly just a walk, my lazy self prefers walking on Sunday mornings , any other morning for that matter. As I was minding my own business I tripped, it all happened so fast I was lying flat on my ass. Usually I would have got up faster  than superman and dusted myself off before anyone could see me. But I just sat there , feeling a burning sensation on my cushions like I had just been kicked. I laughed at myself. When I finally decided it was time to get up I noticed an old man running my direction, he laughed with me and said "Keep going, you're on the right path".
I swear the universe is telling me something.

Lesson:
Don't be afraid of falling. You can always get up and keep going.
Don't be too hard on yourself. Laugh at yourself and you will never be bothered by those who laugh at you.

Love and light to you and yours. Xoxo
