Transitioning From Unplanned Descent to Planned Ascent

The medical profession calls a fall 'an unplanned descent to the ground'. I think that it's a nice way to describe an ugly situation. Whether your talking about an unplanned descent literally or figuratively there will be pain! Either skinned knees or bruised egos or both will be involved. Thousands of people die every year from falls and even more sustain life changing injuries from broken bones and internal injuries. The figurative descent results in depression which can also be deadly. The damage from depression is hard to detect and often harder to treat. A planned ascent on the other hand will require a team to support and encourage you. You will need someone to give you an emotional boost when things get tough.
