Have you been watching the Olympics? Our favorite event is figure skating, but we've had fun watching as many as we can.
These people are literally the BEST in the world at what they do. It's amazing what feats their bodies are capable of.
But you know? Even Olympians aren't perfect. Sometimes they don't land their jumps. Sometimes they fall. Even the best people in the world fall some times! And when they do... they have to get right back up and keep going. No time to mourn, no chance to take a breather and feel sorry for themselves. They've got to get right back up and finish their routine. They can't be shaken by what just happened.
That is such a great parallel for life! As we fall and make mistakes, we shouldn't beat ourselves up. Even the best people (with the lone exception of the Savior Himself) fall sometimes. We should aim to fall like Olympians--pick ourselves up and keep going. Don't let the fall shake you into doubting yourself. You still got this!
