Life happens and we all get knocked down by something. Sometimes it can feel like going 10 rounds and getting constantly knocked back down and want to stay down. Other times it’s a small stumble and we can get right back up.
When we get knocked down we have choices about how we respond and what we do.
Zig Ziglar said it well, “Getting knocked down in life is a given. Getting up and moving forward is a choice.”
One of my favorite songs from the late 90’s was, “I get knocked down, but I get up again. You are never gonna keep me down.” by Chumbawamba. If you feel down search for the song and have a listen – hope it makes you smile. This tune to keep this working mom going many a day and night with two little boys.
