God picks you up. You don't pick yourself up. You're the one who knocked you down or even if somebody else knocked you down, your willingness to believe that what they said had value, was your conspiring with them, with their effort to knock you down - I've never been able to get myself up and I've noticed that every time I ask God to pick me up - he does.
Getting knocked down in life is a given. Getting up and moving forward is a choice.
A winner is that person who gets up one more time than she is knocked down.

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.
The art of living is simply getting up after you've been knocked down.

In the face of adversity, you find out if you're a fighter or a quitter. It's all about getting up after you've been knocked down.
One of my brothers used to tell me all the time, "Listen, nobody is going to discover you in the living room." It's about being interactive in life and participating in your own life. Once you get a grasp on that, you understand. "OK, I can take a couple of knocks. They can hit me on the chin, and I can get up." That's what it's about. It's not about not getting knocked down but getting up. Making sure that you keep pursuing whatever that passion is. For me, that passion is entertainment.
I'm not always the guy getting knocked down a whole lot. My body probably hasn't been punished as much as the other guys have been. I think it's because I show up every day, and I try to do my best - give everything I have.
