I won’t let you fall

The phrase ‘I got you’ brings back that childhood memory of learning how to ride a bike: the reassurance that we wouldn’t fall and the joy of finally mastering it. 

There you are, wobbling from side to side, sweating, gripping the handles of your bike with all your might. When you look down, the ground seems like a thousand miles away, and the last thing you want to do is fall. 

But then you feel the touch of someone’s hand on you, helping you balance, and then they whisper, “I got you; I’ll catch you if you fall.

Then, all of a sudden, you find that inner warrior, and off you go!

When you say this one thing, you can see eyes light up and determination taking over bodies.

I’ll catch you if you fall!

How this phrase is helpful

Think back to your childhood. Did you have that one person who always had your back? They guided you toward your goals and ensured you made the best decisions as you prepared for adulthood.

By the way, It’s never too late to find that support.

Too many people can say, “HELL NO”; I didn’t have that, but if I did, my life would have turned out differently. The beauty of life is that we can always change our trajectory with the proper support. 

Having someone beside you, behind you, in front of you, or wherever you need them to be, just in case you stumble or fall, is more than just comforting. It’s instrumental to how we conduct our lives. It’s a safety net, a support system that makes us feel brave.

Knowing that someone is there to catch you if you fall will ignite the risk-taker in you; it can turn a dreamer into a doer. Then, once they are used to taking risks and no longer afraid of falling, you can back up a bit. Allowing them to soar to levels that you couldn’t even dream of.

I got you, I won’t let you fall, is a phrase that connects us all in our journey of growth and learning. 

We haven’t changed much from that kiddo learning how to ride a bike. Through every beginning stage of our new journey in life, we need someone to encourage us and remind us that we aren’t alone. 

That oh-so-comforting soft whisper, ‘I got you, and I won’t let you fall ‘, will always be the encouragement needed to keep your confidence and balance as we ride into scary new adventures. It’s a reassurance, a comfort that we all need in our journey.

Whatever new journey you are on, I got you, and I won’t let you fall.

You could have chosen any blog to read, but you chose mine, and I’m honored!

  4. We need such bail out parachutes in life…I read somewhere that the first sign that human beings stayed together was a broken bone which showed sign of repair. Amongst animals if a bone is broken that animal inevitably dies. But, the very fact that someone took care of someone who broke a bone and recovered to live, that is where humans are parachutes to each other and that is why we simply are humans.

  9. Unfortunately, too many children grow up without that safety net. Thank you for pointing out the importance of it. The picture makes it so clear as well. And Snoopy and Woodstock are so cute.

    I am lucky to say that I have that support now in my marriage, it goes both ways. So we had adventures and fell and got out of it again together, supporting each other. I wish for every person to have somebody or even several people to support them in that way.
