(Almost) Wordless Wednesday

by Laurel Storey on October 16, 2013

in Perspective

Inspired by NaBloPoMo writing prompt for Wednesday, October 16, 2013:
Oprah Winfrey said, “So go ahead. Fall down. The world looks different from the ground.” Do you embrace failure?

What does this saying mean to you?
Please share!

To me it means that no matter how many times you fall, you keep getting back up until the day comes that you don’t fall anymore.

To me, it says to “keep on keeping on” or “try try again”. In other words, just because you feel doesn’t mean you have to stop moving, trying, whatever in order to get or be somewhere.

It reminds me of a Gospel song. “We fall down, but we get back up.” – Donnie McClurkin.

To me this means if you were skydiving you are lucky to be alive. Quit skydiving.
