3 Lessons to Turn Rock Bottom Into a Solid Foundation
“When we feel lost, it is far easier to lose ourselves in the fantasy of others versus putting in the work to find ourselves.”
With every risk comes the opportunity for greater reward. That has become a mantra that has guided me through challenges. On the other side of pain, loss, and confusion can be incredible clarity and purpose. It's okay to veer away from a plan when it no longer aligns with your purpose. This episode I highlight three major lessons I’ve learned that will shift your mindset from a feeling of rock bottom to setting a solid foundation for your future.
Sometimes, it's important to disconnect from the noise around you and reconnect with your own spark. Taking a step back, being open to new experiences, and meeting new people. Calming the chaos around you also means reining in your curiosity. Unmanaged curiosity can lead to unbelievable chaos. Be aware of the energy of those around us and to seek support from individuals who genuinely believe in us.
Being surrounded by supportive individuals can help you get realigned with your passions, purpose, and opportunities best fit for you. It doesn’t happen overnight. Nurture meaningful connections, stay true to your purpose, and focus on living with integrity. Lasting and impactful output is a direct result of the relationships you have with the people around you.
Pay attention to the internal pulls telling you change needs to happen. Sometimes that means disconnecting from what is familiar to reconnect with your authentic self. If you know someone who could use a spark of hope in their journey, share this episode with them. What feels like rock bottom can become the foundation for a more purpose-aligned future.
