Walking Is Worth It, Even If You Fall
Go, go, go. Never get tired of going, because that’s where you find your reason to be, your will to fight, the courage not to give up. Even if you fall, get up and keep going. You deserve to take advantage of every opportunity in the life that two people decided to start for you.
As a child, you learned that in order to walk, you have to learn to keep your balance. You fell again and again, but someone was there to pick you up from the floor. Falling means starting over.
And so it continues until the passage becomes an act where we put one foot in front of the other without help. Suddenly we get used to not falling as clumsily as we did when we were little. Instead of falling physically, we learn what it means to fall emotionally, and we must struggle to find a way to get up again.
Maybe this is because it makes it worse to fall than before, and the burden gets bigger and bigger every time. We are weighed down by burdens from other disasters, by the power of other storms, by holes of nostalgia and by goals we never reached because of mistakes we made.
You have been hurt, you have cried, you miss what can no longer be, you made a mistake and fell, but it’s okay. You must not forget that, as Eduardo Galeano said, it ‘s worth it, even if you fall.
Injury is not enough to defeat someone who believes in the possibility of healing. There will be more storms and more fires if you decide to sit and wait. More people will come to lift you up and occupy your thoughts, so that you can stop missing what is no longer there.
There is nothing wrong with making mistakes. We are all human, and therefore we achieve our goals by overcoming failures, doubts and weaknesses that ultimately make us stronger. It is good to keep looking towards the horizon, but always with the belief that you are learning from the word “no”, always with faith in the virtue of knowing what the ground you are walking on consists of.
Those who are willing to acknowledge what they have gained during the most difficult of times never lose . Because you always win something, even when you end up at the bottom. You can do that if you can use the ground to climb out of the hole and get out.
No one can be saved from an emotional fall, and I would venture to say that it is absolutely necessary to experience one. This is when you learn to brush off your knees, heal your abrasions and move on from the experience. It is true that some experiences are very difficult and that the pain is terrible. However, if you try to understand the signs from your body and confront them, you will heal much better.
The victories of your continuous efforts will be your glorious medal, the place where you will always be more alive. The risk of falling is worth taking for all the other emotions you experience during the rest of your journey, and for all the people who are there for you, waiting to see you smile.
Walking is important. It is to find your purpose in the world and to give yourself the chance to grow. It is to uncover your potential and believe in your dreams. It is to make new plans if the originals do not work. It is to taste the good and digest the bad. You have to keep going without giving up. You can, should and must always think of yourself, and move on.
