"It's not how many times you fall out it's how often you get back in"
These are not the words of some American self help guru but my yoga instructor. Another example of how lessons from yoga can translate into everyday life. Of course she is precisely right in what she says. It's not wrong to fail to hold a posture for the time allocated but if you don't get back then you're taking a defeatist attitude. Falling out of a posture has meant that you have pushed yourself to the limit - well done, but have the determination to get back in and be even better.
I really admire those people that do, time after time, even if it's just for a couple of seconds, even if they know the word "change" (a signal by the instructor to move on to the next posture) is imminent. I love a comeback kid!
