A Japanese Proverb

Posted November 9th, 2008 by jasonj

Hello Everyone,
I was looking around the internet and I came across this Japanese Proverb. I instantly wanted to make a blog out of it because I think it rings true to the struggles we face gaining self knowledge and progressing spiritually. It's easy to feel disheartened by it all and we can face many personal obstacles and life can sometimes bare down on us. We talk about persistance and perseverance and endurance. This quote is simple and says it all.

 

"FALL DOWN SEVEN TIMES GET UP EIGHT"

 

 

 

 

That was great Jason.
