The first time I fell; I recovered quickly, brushed myself off, and kept moving.
The second time I fell; It hurt far more than the first time. I made sure nothing was broken, and I went on my way.
The third time I fell; I thought I might never get up. I laid on the ground feeling a depth of fear and sadness I had never realized. I found parts of myself I didn't know existed, and experienced ways of feeling I'd never imagined to be possible. I arose a changed man.
