BEFORE YOU FALL, PLAN HOW YOU’LL RISE

BEFORE YOU FALL, PLAN HOW YOU’LL RISE Everyone Knows

You Must Get Back Up. Few Prepare for What Will Actually Help Them

Do It. We have all been told: Fall. Get up. Try again. Never give up. But

there is a question we rarely ask: When you are actually down, what will

make you rise? This book began with an ordinary morning workout. After

years of disciplined fitness training, Dr. Abhishek Gilara allowed himself

to go easy for just a few minutes because his regular coach was absent. He

honestly reported it afterward. He expected those few minutes to be overlooked.

His coach refused. She wasn’t protecting a workout.

She was protecting his standard. That small incident revealed a much larger truth. When we fall in fitness,

business, spirituality or life, our willpower may not be as strong as it was when we confidently promised

ourselves that we would always get back up. Pain changes us. Fear speaks. Ego interferes. Laziness negotiates.

Excuses suddenly sound logical. That is why recovery should not be left entirely to the person we

become after the fall. It should be prepared by the person we are before it. Through deeply personal experiences

with his fitness, spiritual, management and lifestyle mentors, Dr. Abhishek Gilara explores how

to build a Rise Team—the mentors, family, routines, principles, systems, physical strength, spirituality

and purpose that refuse to let a temporary fall become a permanent condition. This is not a book about

avoiding every fall. It is about answering one question before life asks it: If I fall tomorrow, what have I

already built today that will help me rise? Find your mentors. Build your systems. Strengthen your habits.

Decide your principles. Know your purpose. Give the right people permission to correct you. Because

sometimes the greatest strength is not being able to say: “I will never fall.” It is being prepared enough to

say: “If I fall, I already know how I’ll rise.”
