Children don’t learn how to walk until they’ve tried and failed. They need to fall in order to learn how to stand up. It’s the accumulation of errors that allow them to develop their intuitive sense of balance.

when you hit bottom, you sure as hell don’t mistake it for no place else.

First one to fall loses, is that it?

If it is destroyed, then he will fall; and his fall will be so low that none can foresee his arising ever again. For he will lose the best part of the strength that was native to him in his beginning, and all that was made or begun with that power will crumble, and he will be maimed for ever, becoming a mere spirit of malice that gnaws itself in

The key to surviving the Fall is tapping into a very specific ability that we all can leverage: the Power of Persistence.

It is always simple to fall; there are an infinity of angles at which one falls, only one at which one stands.

Eventually, if there isn’t deep integrity and fundamental character strength, the challenges of life will cause true motives to surface and human relationship failure will replace short-term success.
