Freedom To Fail

What if you fell,
                        really really hard....and never got back up again?
                   
You'd lay down there for a pretty long time. Days would pass and soon months would sail on by. The morning sky would blink -from red and pink-to black.. all the while you'd just be lying there motionless and
 limp.

What if you just stayed down in the dirt for your entire lifetime? There'd be many opportunities. A sea of what-could-be. There would be a whole world out there... just waiting for you to pick yourself up again and discover these possibilities for yourself. What if you stayed there on the ground and let your dreams turn to dust. The dreams you'd at one time had were vivid. They followed you everywhere. They lived inside of you.
     
 These dreams were long forgotten as you laid there on the ground. The thing that was consuming you had become a parasite.. and it was eating you up inside. A single word or rather.. a chain of words with a similar tone rang through your mind. Failure. I can't do it. I'm worthless. I'm nothing. It won't work. Why should I even try?

Well guess what. You are allowed to fail. Each and every one of us on this planet we call "Earth" has failed/ and will fail at some point. You have the Freedom To Fail... but you do not have the Freedom to simply stay a failure.

Next time you take a steep fall,
                                   or a small fall,
                       remember this.
                      Pick yourself up. Dust yourself off.
                  You are not a failure.... you just failed.
