I get up again...
"It's not a matter of what we've done in life that counts. It's what we've learned that makes the difference between wisdom and experience." ~ Joan Chittester As is pretty clear by the dates on my posts, I have been slacking for about a week on my journaling and blogging. But the thing that I have learned in the past when I have made changes in my life is that I can't berate myself when I mess it up, it just makes me more likely to quit. Instead, I just need to start again, and keep going. That is the wisdom I have gained from my past experience with trying to make changes in my life. Rabbi Nahman of Bratslav said, "If you won't be better tomorrow than you were today, then what do you need tomorrow for?" So I will keep trying. And when I fall, I will get back up again and keep going. I can do this.
