I am not one for puns or quick quips although they do sound good at times.
Many, many years ago I was on a house remodeling job and there were pictures that had to be taken down before my workers could get started. One of the guys came and asked me… You surf what does this mean??? The picture was of a guy who had just taken off on his surfboard on the giant wave at Hawaii’s Banzai Pipeline… The caption below the photo said ” Success is getting up one more time and then you fall” I have never forgotten this!
This is so true for the surfer, he kept trying to just stand up and ride a wave and then after falling many times he finally found himself at the Pipeline… Success! Since I have been a surfer my whole life it was easy for me to relate and I have carried this ever since. 🙂
This saying can be true in everything we do in life. I believe we create our own destiny, it starts when we are young – to the infant success is just that, getting up one more time and then you fall – this continues the rest of our lives. All of us are capable of beating the odds, making changes, and our lives are better if we want them to be. We are blessed living in a place where we can be and do whatever we want to do with our lives. I hope it sticks with all of you and helps you as it has me for all these years of self employment.
Success can be something small and insignificant or larger then life the choice is ours.
Have a great Tuesday!

In surfing, after each wave, no matter how awesome the ride you do fall. Great choice!

Your personal example reminded me of a song my mother used to sing..”Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again…”. As Trina said, great choice, Wolf!!

I remember mom singing the song pick yourself up, dust yourself of and start all over again. Do you remember Wolfie. I never thought I would have a brother named Wolfie – I think it means he who runs with Wolf! 😆
I love your saying wolfie, I seem to be picking myself up all the time and then starting again. 😉

That is soooo cool! I love inspirational quotes. I posted an inspirational one that means a lot to me, too.
BTW, when were you in Hawaii? I lived there from 1975 to 1980 and again from 1985 to 1992.
I like this one too. What a wonderful example to show that life is all about getting up and trying again, each time we fail. In fact, I like everyone’s post this week. Awesome quotes that we should all remember as we trudge along. Once again, thanks for giving us such a great theme this week, Wolfbernz. Clicks for you!
Hi all,
Thanks for dropping in on me!
I do run with the wolves everyday AngelBaby 🙂 Just don’t scream if you run by… They think you are scared and want to take you down for a good tumble in the fields here on the farm… LOL
Liggy I was in Hawaii at the same time you were there off and on from 1976- 1982
Then I went back for the US National Championship in 1985 -1986
I’ll be by and give you all clicks, you guys make my day 🙂 thanks for being a part of the community.
