February 10, 1962, Professional Boxer Muhammad Ali was knocked down to the canvas! This was the first time the champ had ever been knocked down. He had been knocked down by Sonny Banks. Ali sat up and quickly rose to his feet. Ali went on to defeat Sonny Banks. It is not about being knocked down in life, the big question is “ what are you going to do about it?” What you do after you have been knocked down defines who you are. We all have faced a Sonny Banks in life. Life can knock you flat on your back. We can lay on the canvas of life and blame everybody. Ali rose to his feet quickly and turned a setback into a comeback.
You may have to fight through some not so good days to get to the best days of your life. Be strong, things will get better. We all must continue to look for better days to come. Remember, you are a champion and a champion rises to the top.
