Symbol: Getting knocked down and back up
Lesson: Hits
to our personal character and spirituality do not necessarily indicate the type
of person we are. How we deal with them and recover – that is the mark of the
person we are inside.
Illustration:
Getting knocked down or losing our balance affects us all. When we fall it is
naturally embarrassing. We tend to look around hoping that no one saw us fall. Children
usually just lay on the ground crying because they got knocked down. However, getting
back up and facing our personal challenges with determination, renewed vigor,
and improved strength -- that is the mark of a grown man.
Notes: All
of us are imperfect. But sometimes that dent in the armor of our character and
spirituality can be embarrassing. Dealing with our feelings and facing the path
ahead of us is the real challenge. Do not allow personal embarrassment or
discouragement to keep you knocked down.
