Rock bottom can be a good thing. When life falls spectacularly apart, we're left with the bare minimum, our naked selves. I'm talking the significant stuff; job loss, financial crisis, relationship(s) break down, the threat of complete and utter ruin. The dust has a way of clearing and we find some serious life focus. So what's left? What is the outcome of such freakish, terrifying and life altering circumstances? Well, I guess you make some decisions and you change some things. Most importantly, you survive. You learn to count solely on yourself and you find an inner strength you didn't know you possessed. You learn not to betray yourself by "allowing" things into your life that don't feel right. You learn to respect yourself first. Then you learn who you can trust. You commit to your life and the things you need to do - for you and only you. You do things because you want to and because you know they'll lead to the kind of life you want. You stop looking for someone or something to fulfill you. You know that it's on you. Amazingly enough, this is a very empowering experience. When you survive, ground yourself and then thrive, you build life altering confidence that you can rely on moving forward. Fear dissolves, you set the bar higher and you stand your own ground. You have the freedom to care less about what goes on around you because you know you're going to be okay, no matter what happens "out there." There's a letting go, so to speak, and some effortless and amazing gifts arrive.
Blessings,
