What does it really mean to be courageous? It’s not about never falling — it’s about refusing to stay down.
In this episode of The Daily Morningcast, Alex Hill explores the Japanese proverb “Fall seven times and stand up eight”and unpacks what it means for our daily lives. Through the stories of the women of Hidden Figures, Michael Jordan’s rise from rejection, and James Dyson’s thousands of failed prototypes, we see that true courage is persistence in the face of struggle.
This episode reminds us that every setback carries the seed of a comeback — if we choose to rise again.
