It is not the one that falls first that matters, but the one that gets up to help the other

About This Quote

It is not the one that falls first that matters, but the one that gets up to help the other. Life is full of ups and downs. Life is full of obstacles in our way. And when we fall, it is sometimes easy to say, “That’s it.

I’m done. I don’t want to get up again.” Or, “I’m done with this. I’m just going to keep falling until I hit bottom.” But if you only look at the one who falls first, you are missing out on what could be a really happy ending.

If you look instead at the one who helps the other back up, you might find yourself rising after all.
