Stumble

Stumble, trip, errors along the path.
But I keep moving.
Lost my balance, fall, lost my way, pitched, and reeled.
But I keep moving.
Obstacles confronted as I move clumsily, awkwardly unsteady.
But I keep moving.
Carelessly, faltering acts of mindless decisions, I regroup, collect, bring myself back to order.
And I keep moving.

Life is really about the stumbles we take. Each day we are presented with difficulties, obstacles and stumbling blocks that have the capacity to trip us up. But the magic is after we stumble, brush off our knees and lick our wounds do we have the fortitude to keep moving?

Despite the stumbles that are inevitably going to be there, we must keep moving. If it is your purpose and passion that drives you, stumbles are unavoidable and unescapable.

Let no one or nothing stop you from filling your purpose, your destiny. Stumbles have the power to crumble your world, but you must keep moving.

Develop the fortitude that gives you the ability, despite the frustrations and stumbles we develop, to just keep moving.
