The Beauty of Hitting Rock Bottom

Have you ever hit rock bottom??

Are you headed toward rock bottom now?

I get it.

I’ve been there... in business and in life.

More than once.

And even though rock bottom looks different for everyone, what I can tell you is this...

It’s normal.

Here’s what I know for sure...

There’s only so far the universe will let you fall before you begin to rise again.

This happens because of two reasons:

First, there's no further you can go down... and you realize it.?

It’s like you smack straight into the truth and a lightbulb goes off.

You stop lying to yourself.

You stop making excuses.

And you realize what you did that led you to fall so far down a spiral in the first place.

This is the catalyst that infuriates you to claw your way back to reality; new and improved.

Second, you push your ego to the side and look to others for help and advice.?

You’ve already lost your job.

You’ve already lost your bank account.

You’ve already lost your family and friends.

You’ve already lost everything.

And you decide that there are, in fact, other people who can help guide you back to baseline.?

So, you reach out for advice and start formulating a plan.

Here’s what I also know:

The rock bottom experience is not what wakes you up.

It’s what leads you to your next big chapter in life.

It’s what turns you around and motivates you to move in the right direction.

If you take this experience and actually learn from it, you’ll have formed a new skill set that can propel you straight to the top.

And when all is said and done, you can look back thankful at what the journey taught you, and it’s this...

You survived.

With fire and love,

Erin Whitehead Human Performance Coach

I migrated back to this post again it’s calling me. Failure is not always what it appears up front. Failure is what makes me get out of bed. It’s actually the fear of failure that I believe drives us. Sure, I’ve failed so many times I can’t count them all. As you state so elegantly, nobody is going to save me so I better get out of bed tomorrow!
