Have you ever hit rock bottom? That dark place where you feel alone, hopeless and frustrated that nothing seems to be working out?
I have! Many times in my life. But there's one common theme I've found to be true:
Rock bottom can be a blessing in disguise if you embrace your inner fire and rise.
How can hitting rock bottom be a blessing?
We all have an inner fire, that flame which constantly burns inside, sometimes dimly and other times brightly. You see, that flame is what makes us wake up every morning and do life. The more driven, passionate and excited we are about life the brighter it shines.
When we are at our lowest the flame can barely be seen or felt, but it is still there! And this is where our power lies and the blessing can be found.
How do we grab hold of this blessing?
>> Stop looking back and start looking forward
The past is behind you, there is no amount of crying, worrying or reminiscing that can change it. It's gone! Learn from it and keep your eyes on the road ahead.
>> Stop looking down and start looking upwards
It's time to stop feeling ashamed and blaming yourself. Forgive yourself and seek forgiveness from those you have hurt or wronged. Set yourself free, let go of the weight you've been carrying and get ready to fly.
>> Fan your flame with new ideas, dreams, and goals.
Let that flame burn brighter. Whenever you feel like it's getting dim remind yourself that you are not where you were yesterday, and taking another step forward today is helping you fan your flame.
It's not the end, It's the start of a new beginning if only you can grab hold of it and not let go🤍
