Your growth is ever
upward.  You may stumble and you may
fall, but do you not pick yourself up and move on?  What is it that keeps you moving rather than
retreating or lying in a pile on the ground? 
It is the fact that you are here to experience Life—yes, with all of its
bumps.  If the terrain were flat, that
experience would be rather dull for you and the One who is experiencing life
through you.  So dust yourself off and
feel no remorse for having stumbled. 
Know that the Observer is not bemoaning the fall, but saying instead, “Wasn’t
that interesting? And now we move on, having learned.”

Isn’t life grand?  So many opportunities.  You call them bumps.  We call them moguls.  Your skiers love them.  It is all a matter of perspective.
