When We're DEAD IN THE WATER
Of all possible threads, this is the thread I dread to cover because NO ONE as in NO ONE wants to talk about being DEAD IN THE WATER. BUT reality tells us, that that happens, much as we dread it. Unfortunately, some of us go through that most trying situations in life, those times WHEN you were telling yourself you gave it all, you've squeezed every sweat you can and there's just NOTHING else for youπππSurely, almost everyone of us, at some point in our respective past, did hit the lowest of the lows, hitting rock bottom eventually. BUT likely you were that successful enough to pull yourself up to WHERE you are right now. Truth is, there is no single person on this planet WHO has never experienced failure OR frustration. At some point in each of our own lives, hitting the brick wall happens as things fall apartπππ
Hold on though. Before we start exchanging notes, the fact is every person's lowest point is different. Everyone's story of success and failure is unique. Every single person also faces different demons. It is only WHEN you have reached the bottom of the pit that you begin to realize that you have indeed hit rock bottom. You then start to have a positive outlook and you begin your own journey to recovery. YES, there are different reasons WHY a person may feel they've reach the bottom. Some of these reasons could be a failure of relationships, loss of job, loss of home OR even drug addiction❎❎❎
True, many of our everyday lives seem monotonous [OR is it?] WHEN everyday we wake up, eat, work [or go to school], then sleep. And we do this everyday. That is WHY when we [ever] reach the bottom, we face challenges. And these challenges end up shaking our own life, like the tectonic plates banging each other in a high-intensity earthquake. BUT before we get hanged up with the fix how to eke ourselves out of that rock bottom, let us list common signs that you did hit rock bottom:
- You got fired from your job [OR your business went kaput]
- You lost your house [and NOW homeless]
- Your financial problems are insurmountable
- You crossed the line and are in trouble with the law
- You got kicked out of school or dropped out unexpectedly
- You got serious injury that may cause permanent disability
- Your marriage/relationship ended DEAD IN THE WATER
