What it Takes to Get Back Up

This week I had a chance to see my hero, Brene Brown! If you don’t know who she is you MUST check out her work (here). Her new book Rising Strong is rocking my world. Her subtitle alone is enough to stop you in your tracks. “If we are brave enough, often enough, we will fall. This is a book about what it takes to get back up.”

Honestly, when we go after our goals it is all about learning how to get back up after we fall. When we embrace the truth, that we are not going to do it perfectly and that we will make mistakes along the way, half the battle is won.

For example, one of my goals for the 12 weeks of coaching series was to post a blog every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday … well I am falling. I am not going to be able to post every Saturday moving forward due to my upcoming book release. Part of my fall was over committing to a very full schedule. However, that’s not going to stop me from moving forward in my goals. I will continue to blog twice a week, train for my half marathon and work on my book release.

Let me know where you’ve fallen down in your goal and will you continue to pick yourself back up and keep moving forward?

  1. I had to accept that while I will reach my goal of 24 Blog Posts by November 8th I may not always be able to stick to the schedule I set for myself and gave to my readers: every Tuesday and Saturday. This was a tough fail for me, I felt like just getting my Blog started and then being unreliable was going to limit the work God wanted to do through my story. I struggle with feeling unreliable and like a disappointment because of my health anyway so the enemy knew he could spin me in knots with it.
    Linda I saw you post on FB about going to hear Brene Brown and I immediately thought well that is how I feel about Linda but I kept it to myself and then I watched your vlog today and God was not going to keep me quiet. Every word you said about Brene is what you mean to me Linda – you are my hero and you inspire me everyday to keep going and you have for years! I am so honored and blessed to be on the Launch team!
    I am worthy! Thank you Jesus!

    • Melissa you are like me my friend and put a lot of pressure on yourself…I’m learning it’s okay to fall short, not do things perfectly and accept myself right where I’m at today (which at times is a hot mess!! lol) I love you and I’m so proud of your progress and commitment. You are amazing!!!

      I cannot believe that is how you feel about me… like I do with Brene. Wow!!! It’s hard to think I could have that kind of impact on someone. That means so much to me to hear this. I am intentionally receiving this today. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this. You inspire me to keep on keeping on too my friend. (((hugs)))

  2. Thank you for sharing Brene Brown – WOW! Vulnerability and courage – I like that reframe over weak and afraid. My goal was to get back on track with healthy eating, exercise and daily devotions. Making progress with the eating, but hit and miss with exercise and daily scripture reading, still working on it. There are times that I get stuck in a cycle of feeling unworthy to be involved in church ministry, since I am failing at being in scripture, which results in me being less connected and feeling more unworthy. Linda, it helps me so much when you share your struggles and that you continue to get in the arena, as Brene mentioned. I see that I am not alone. I will continue to strive for the goal, understanding that the process is a bit messy and that’s ok; and that God is not looking for perfection in people to do His ministry.

    • We are in this together LuAnne! We will keep getting our knees skinned up and dirt on our faces…we will do all this “stuff” imperfectly. The more messed up I am the more glory God gets…lol!!! But so true 🙂

      You are worthy of all good things! You ARE WORTHY to do whatever God calls you to do each day. Thank you for being here with me. ((Hugs))

    • Øv. Hj¦plÃer vel ikke, hvis jeg siger, at Kbh ogsÃ¥ er umulig uden penge? Men det skal nok gÃ¥. PÃ¥ den ene eller anden mÃ¥de.

  3. I have fallen down in my weight loss goal. I know I can do better and I will. I AM WORTHY!!! 🙂 Thank you for continuing to encourage and inspire me, Linda. You are a true blessing in my life.
