Welcome to a thought exchange!
We’ve all been there, the bottom of the world where everything feels like it has fallen apart. Why, ultimately, is this sometimes a really good place to be?
For starters, it’s a time to see things in a way you wouldn’t otherwise, so a perspective shift. No one really likes the old phrase “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” and yet, it’s true. Adversity and hardship drive opportunities because survival in any form is part of human nature. Whether it’s a relationship turned upside down, a career disappointment, a family tragedy, or a health emergency, when you are out of options, you have to look harder, try harder, work harder or find another way.
So that all said, if we’ve all been to the bottom of life as we know it, doesn’t it make sense that we keep an eye out for those around us going through a tough time and help out?
There have been days when a simple smile from another person was the one thing that kept my spirits lifted and determined. It helps to know we are not alone in the world, especially when navigating challenges or a crisis.
If this is you, on this day, please know you will get through it and you will be stronger for it.
