All paths up are different.All paths down are the same.
Climbing up is challenges and we all have to find our determination, strength, and skill to make it up rung after rung on the ladder of life.
Falling down is when the sh*t hits the fan and the walls come crumbling down and we freefall into the abyss.
The key as we usually learn early in life when we take our first falls is to quickly get back up (on the horse).
Life is never just smooth sailing.
It's not meant to be.
You wouldn't learn or grow if it was.
Be prepared for the occasional fall from grace, and get your tushy back in the saddle and ride again. ;-)
