The resilience we gain from being knocked down by those losses and disappointments and then the resulting clarity and greater strength we have, builds over time.

It makes me think of my kids’ ice skating lessons.

I’d watch from the bleachers as the young instructor would tell them that if they fall it’s okay because every time they do, they get stronger as they pull themselves up, and they learn a little more about what to do and not to do the next time.

She’d say, “If you’re not falling, it means you are not trying hard enough to get better.”
