It is often said that when you hit rock bottom the only place to go is up.

However, if you take the time to reflect, you will realise that there are countless opportunities to learn: more about who you are and what you stand for; your resilience and resourcefulness; the mistakes you made and the valuable lessons there are to learn. In essence, you would have a clearer understanding of your capabilities and who in our circle of friends and acquaintances can be relied on.

Having said this, and in the face of failure, it can be difficult to step back and consider it a learning experience. Many of us allow ourselves to wallow unduly in the pain, disappointment, embarrassment, and loss, and not recover and continue that journey.

However, if you think that you have hit rock bottom, know that you have all you need to succeed. So get up, dust yourself off, reassess your choices, and move forward.

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• In what way(s) have I experienced rock bottom?
• What were some of the lessons I learned from that experience?
• How did the experience of hitting rock bottom change me?

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!!
