Resilience From A Baby Walk

 "A few weeks ago I was watching a baby learn how to walk.

She was engrossed.

She made an effort to get up, felt her legs shake, stumbled, fell on her bum.

She was unfazed by this fall. She instantly began again. Stood up, wobbled, fell.

Again.

And again.

I detected no stress, no fear, no ego trip, no drama, no discouragement, no sense of failure. No wondering if it was worth it, no giving up, no dejection, no second guessing, no overthinking, no dismay, no blame, no loss of confidence.

Again.

I wish I could do everything the way I learned to walk."
