Here comes the thought; okay think about something else. A great description for what I would call the loop of pain. The mind goes in circles and it's hard to get back the control.
Having a temporary roof over your head can sometimes be the best thing one can hang onto. You don't know yourself trully until you reach the rock bottom. Some stay too long=damage or diamond?But maybe the scars from damage make us what we are. Humans. Flawed. It doesn't matter if one person is flipping tokens and one is missing out, in the end, this life is about something totally different than money. It is very alluring and tempting though to think otherwise.
Chasing what you want.... I can agree with that as long as what you chase is inside of you. The rest will always elude you.
It does circle back on itself. It's ridiculous when you've learned the lesson that stems from a difficult past, and you've not forgotten, there's no need for a reminder. Maybe it's just a loose connection.
Rock bottom was awesome. That never ever ever comes back to sting. Feels like an accomplishment and eases potential future burden.
Yes, rock bottom can be awesome, you can find diamonds between those rocks if you dig deep
But you can't get there intentionally. LOL! Imagine some self-help guru saying, "I need you all to get out there and hit rock bottom!"
That would make a good comedy skit though.
Lol, maybe some will follow. For every crazy guru there is a follower base. But yes, normal well balanced people do not intend to hit rock bottom and sit there. When it happens though, it can really make you or break you. Who comes out of it and stands up high....that is a changed man/woman for life. There is nothing like the power of the rock bottom as catalyst for change.
