Sliding off from a height means
You have something to climb back up !
...
During my walk in the park today, I saw a group of children
playing on the slide – sliding down zoom and then running towards the steps at
the back of the slide to once again climb to the top and slide down. One
particular little boy caught my attention. Every time he came sliding down from
the top onto the ground, instead of going back to the top of the slide via the
steps at the back of the slide, he would try and climb back up the slide itself. During this, a few times he slipped and fell down but that
did not deter him from climbing. He tried and eventually succeeded. Every time
he made it to the top, he was overjoyed! Words fail me to describe his
happiness throughout.
The little boy’s downward journey along the slide was fast
and scary. His upward journey was a struggle but he did not give up. With determination
and courage he got there and it was rewarding.
Journey of life has ups and downs too. The downhill journey
of life is scary and fast and sometimes tends to blindside us. The uphill
journey of life is always a struggle but rewarding in the end. Whatever
mountain we are climbing, whatever dreams we are building, we will always face
barriers along the way. Whether it is a
downhill journey or a barrier during the
uphill journey, failure should not knock us from our path. During tough times, we
just need to take a minute to reflect on how uniquely our life experiences have prepared us to
make it through both journeys – THE UPS AS WELL AS DOWNS OF LIFE and move on.

Life is a journey full of ups and downs..and the one who chases called the real WARRIOR!!
Very inspiring post :)
Been there, done that. Both on slide and in life. :) Have you tried going UP on a DOWN escalator? Believe me, it's more fun than it looks. Try it.
ReplyDeleteI don't want my comment to be longer than your post so I'll just finish with my favourite quote, "A hill is only as steep as it looks to the man climbing it."
hmmm well thats what is called life .. as they say WHAt goes UP comes down .. and when you are down then you go UP and up
