Ask the Wolf #2

Dear Ms. Wolf,
"I've fallen and I can't get up. Please help me. And what can I do to keep from falling again?"

Good question. Actually, falling is only a bad thing if we choose to see it as such. If you never try to push the boundaries or yourself, you'll never fall. And even with accidental falls, you can still gain something if you put aside society's norms and think for yourself. If you only reach for the stars, sooner or later you'll forget what's down below and lose your own foundation. And no one wants to be a hot air balloon forever rising up, up, up until it loses steam or overheats in the dazzling sunlight.
Just as you can rise up to find new paths, so too can you fall down and gain new perspectives. Or new knowledge, to help prevent an even bigger fall in the future. And 'up' is not only in the direction of the clouds. Sometimes, it takes a fall and an unexpected grounding in order to truly rise up.
