Do we always land back on our feet?

I have been questioning this headline a lot lately...

When you see someone around you struggling - especially someone you care about - is it better to let them fall and find their own inner strength to get back onto their feet when the time is right, or is the preference to be there to help them so they never have to fall in the first place?

We learn from our mistakes, but do we always have to take that path initially in order to improve?

I guess everyone is different and every situation is different, so as the Organisational Behaviour lecturer at AGSM is known for saying, I guess "it all depends".

I have had a very interesting week. I don't mind spontaneity and 'winging' things but do appreciate when some structure is in place... especially when it involves having foreign experiences.

In two days time, I will be jetsetting to the other side of the world... but have had no time to research anything about where I am going as my original plans had to change last minute.

So I ask, am I going to have a good time and will my circumstances ensure that I will land back on my feet no matter what hardships I may face whilst away?

I like being positive but the lead up to this holiday has been such a rush, that I wonder when my luck may change?
Hopefully it won't be this time.

I also hope that for those people who have been struggling with lifestyle changes, inner conflicts and employment challenges in recent times, that they are back on their feet when I get back - or at least, on the path to getting there - such as having maybe one foot on the ground...

"Anything is possible when you believe in yourself"... and when we believe in the people around us.

Hopefully more often than not, we will be landing back on our feet and achieving all that we hope to.
