Life is a Trip

"Life is a trip so sometimes you gonna stumble." -- Jay Z

This line spoke to me today. It was taken from Jay Z's verse in the Kanye West's "Power" remix. Now I'm an avid Jay Z/Kanye West fan and have listened to that song on numerous occasions, but today it caught my ear and the wheels in my head started turning. 

Besides the cool wordplay of the lyric, there is a lesson to be learnt. Everyone experiences some form of failure in life, it is what we do after we have stumbled that makes the difference. 

Will you stay down? OR Will you get back up and move on like it never happened? OR Will you acknowledge that you've fallen, get up, assess why you fell and make steps to try not to make the same mistake again? 

My option is always the latter. You shouldn't fear failure. Failure is friend. It helps you to learn and grow which is what the journey of life is all about. Never to late to learn never to old to grow.
