Backwards is forwards

“You find your rhythm when you realize that even the steps backwards were part of the dance.”

For real.

I’ve been through this many times.

Life hits you hard.
You fall.
It hits you again.
You fall, taking longer to get back up.
And some seasons, Life hits you daily, hourly.
Till you can’t stand up.
You struggle to even breathe.
But what goes down must come up.
Nothing is permanent.
Law of nature.
As long as you keep trying.
One day, you’d stand up again.
Only this time, taller.
Seeing further.
And you realize that the beating was for growth.
Trim the dead leaves, a plant grows stronger.
You were not taking hits.
You were training.

Backwards is forwards.
