Get Up Again When You Get Knocked Down was written in the middle of a rainy Vancouver October. Well, maybe it wasn’t, I don’t remember, because the truth is so much has happened. For one thing, the article I wrote, as with the many I write, are equally born from my own personal experiences and reflections – much more so than an intellectual response. You can feel that as you read it.

I was very rewarded to feel the satisfaction and inspiration that came my way when this particular post reinvigorated another man who has reeled under a few hard blows. We all know what it is like to take some of those blows. Some of us get up, some of us don’t. Some of us lend a hand to others, some of us kick ‘em when they’re down. I know who I want to be.

Read my story, and tell us yours. What is your war story and how did you inspire yourself to overcome the adversity?
