Under Your Umbrella
“Without defeats, how do you really know who the hell you are? If you never had to stand up to something – to get up, to be knocked down, and to get up again – life can walk over you wearing football cleats. But each time you do get up, you’re bigger, taller, finer, more beautiful, more kind, more understanding, more loving. Each time you get up, you’re more inclusive. More people can stand under your umbrella.”
Maya Angelou
From my own experiences in life I believe she is spot on! And, you have chosen the perfect image to accompany her quote.
It’s like the saying that you can learn more from your failures than you can from your successes. Thanks, Monte, I’ve been holding this image for a while, waiting for a good place to post it.
Monte hit the nail on the head. Beautiful image, too!
Thanks, Ken!
