Life is a sequence of trial and error, getting knocked down and getting back up. In order to prevail, you need to get up even if you fail again and again. But notice how some patterns in your life tend to repeat. Then ask yourself if the direction you are going in there is indeed the direction you want to go in.
Life has a way of presenting you with similar situations over and over again, either for you to perfect the experience, or to choose something else. Choose wisely!
