When life is going well, and there is a spring in our step, uneven ground can emerge out of nowhere. We stumble. We fall. We wonder why? Is it a sign that we are meant to quit? Is it time to give up on our dream? Has rejection won?
Could we have done more to prevent the fall.
These endless questions consume us as we lay there, dejected, and losing sight of a dream that is racing away on the horizon. We think it is over. That the fall is the end. It is only the end if you allow it. It is never about the fall, it is always about the ability to get back up.
We fall to remind ourselves how much strength we need to succeed.
The fall is merely a process of our journey. The path to creative success has not been laid with smooth tarmac. It has been drilled with uneven ground. It is designed to make us fall — in order to see how tough we are. How much we want the dream. How relentless we will be in chasing it.
In this motivational video, clips from a variety of creative endeavours are mixed with iconic speeches about the importance of persevering.
