While doing some research for an article I'm working on, I came across this quote today and it really struck me:
"Fall seven times, stand up eight." - Japanese proverb
So many times we focus on the negativity of a setback or what we would see as a failure, that we don't refocus our perspective on where we need to go from there. We just need to reshift our thinking to not lose what our ultimate goals are. Maybe we just needed to take a different road or direction to get there?
I'm trying to find inspiration in everyday things as well. In my nephew who is incessantly curious, always asking questions, and always sees the novelty in things. In the hopes of a younger generation who doesn't worry about every detail of why something did or didn't happen, but who relish what's happening right now. And in the person who can come across a major struggle or heartache and immediately searches the positive in the situation, stands up and moves forward.
It's definitely a way of life I can walk towards.
