Knocked Down


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.
