What do you do when you aren’t feeling great and everything isn’t going well? What do you do when you’re overwhelmed and feeling discouraged, and you’re struggling with something or with life in general?
When life knocks you down, when something happens in your life or to someone in your life, when you’re upset or discouraged, when you’re feeling down… don’t think about your circumstances or feel sorry for yourself. Don’t think about how much the situation stinks or how much you wish things were different. Just focus on getting up.
Don’t focus on all the things you have to do in the future, or on the million reasons why you’re not happy or why you’re upset, or on the things that you’re going to have to do in the future. Just get up.
When you’re down, the most important thing is getting up. Once you get up, then you can focus on taking the first step. Once you get up, then you can get back on-track and eventually get going again. But you have to get up first.
~
“I have been down countless times. But I never stayed down.
As soon as I was down, I gathered all of my inner strength and got up again.”
~ Anonymous

If you hear that voice creeping up in your head that tells you it’s too tough, that you can’t make it, that your circumstances are too much for you to overcome... turn your mind off and ignore that voice. Focus your attention and your energy on just getting up and getting back on your feet.
~
“A just person may fall seven times and rise”
~ Proverbs 24:16
Just Get Up… and Just Keep Getting Up: No matter how many times life knocks you down, always keep getting up. No matter how difficult your situation or your circumstances may get, never ever give up. Instead, get up. Don’t get down, and don’t give up. Get up… and keep getting up.
~
“The key to overcoming is to get up one more time than you fall down.”
~ Kingsley Fletcher
