From Rock Bottom To Rock Solid

From Rock Bottom To Rock Solid

WHO has not been to ROCK BOTTOM?  I really doubt it if anyone has NOT hit ROCK BOTTOM at all.  WHO says and WHO claims that both his feet have NOT been on the ground throughout his lifetime?  I'm even more inclined to believe that a plurality of us [if NOT a majority] have been down deep down there at ROCK BOTTOM countless times.  BUT hitting ROCK BOTTOM is one we should NEVER be ashamed to admit.  Been there, done that.  I got bruised black and blue.  BUT what matters most as we journey in our life is to go From Rock Bottom To Rock Solid.  Sounds a rah-rah chant BUT call it any way you want, numerous success stories credit their hitting ROCK BOTTOM to propel them to ROCK SOLID heights.  And all these is part of our journey.  And WHAT matters most is HOW we rise from those depths and turn our struggles into stepping stones📗📙📘

So, rather than reinvent the wheels, let's pick up the brains of those who literally rose from ROCK BOTTOM.  Foremost of which is remaining CONNECTED to your coterie of trusted friends.  They are NOT there just to give us a shoulder to cry on, to lean on.  We are encouraged to surround ourself with people WHO would lift us up, encourage us to get out of that rabbit hole.  NOT to forget, we often hear that laughter is the best medicine and we would hear that friends are the ultimate prescription.  Then, we are advised to piggy-back with daily plans of 'SMALL INCREMENTS'.  LIKE WHEN we are so overwhelmed, the idea of making huge strides can be damn paralyzing to say the least.  So, WHY DON'T we start small, that small token step if you may.  YES, I did take that path many times before.  Every tiny step then WHICH was all I can do💧💧💧

I did tap my own self then and said, ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY, so it's reasonable and realistic to temper our hopes and even that fainted optimism.  To reinforce your acceleration to get into that momentum going, this WHEN and WHERE your loved ones would be your partner[s] in ensuring that your long-term goals can have that extra layer of accountability and support, a support you will hardly find elsewhere.  And WHEN you involve your loved ones, more likely you'll remain committed to your plans✅✅✅

Numerous times in my life, I heard these words resonate and replicate over and over again:  I WOULD HAVE NOT MADE IT WITHOUT HIM/HER and I CAN'T doubt even the slightest.  WHEN I go for regular medical tests at the hospital facilities, I would see couples and more often, it is the wife WHO is providing the support to the husband, husbands WHO are strangers to me BUT I can safely guess they were as robust WHEN they were at the pinnacle of their successes😊😊😊

Our takeaway:  That IDEAL altitude in life, YES we all relish that BUT let us be [gently] reminded that many more souls are in situations much dire, much worse than WHATEVER predicament we may be right now. And allow me to go back to that half-glass of water.  Let's take it as HALF FULL instead of HALF-EMPTY.  One day, our cup will be full anyway and that's the time for us to KAMPAI-KAMPAI❗❗❗
