theconnectionsnj.com HEALTH & WELLNESS PAGE 35 The purpose of life is not to avoid every potentially harmful situation. You need to get your hands dirty and build calluses for the hard work ahead. You need to fall and get back up, knowing that you will probably fall again, but understanding that after each fall, you get up stronger. If I had to say the one area with the greatest impact on success, I would say it is contained in the art of the fall. Here are 2 reasons why: 1. Intelligence is gained from falling and pushing yourself past your fears and beyond what you think you can do. It opens up tremendous opportunities. When I look back at all my falls and setbacks - for products, ideas, and new concepts - it is clear that the intelligence I gained prompted subsequent success. Live each day with a passion for learning something new, whether it’s by reading or taking action. Realizing the tremendous education received from falling is a motivation to move forward and use that experience to enhance your next steps. 2. Falling Forward. Once you understand that falling is the key to breaking through, you gain quiet confidence going forward. Not being afraid to fall is empowering. When I moved from Karate to Aikido and Jujitsu, I became fascinated with their circular movements. I wanted to know how to roll on concrete without injury. I practiced on all surfaces from dirt and grass to stone and sidewalks. The funny thing is that there have been many times I’ve fallen while skateboarding, playing basketball, or on ice. My body just rolls out of it naturally. Knowing that a fall will not injure you, empowers you to try new and riskier moves. When you approach life and business without fear of falling, you can accomplish great things. A belief in and passion for what you’re doing gives you the ability to fall forward with the greatest power. Faith softens the fall. Falling isn’t failing, as long as you don’t fail to get back up. “Nothing in life is to be feared.
