When you hit the bottom, that’s when you find out who you are. It's in those moments of darkness and despair that your true strength and resilience emerge. Remember, you are not alone in facing rock bottom; many have stood where you stand now. I am experiencing a bottom that I have not felt in a long time, but my energy is high, my mind is sharp, and I am not “worried” about the bottom.
Lots of people do reach a point where things change in the blink of an eye. Nobody wants to talk about it because of shame and judgment. I want to reassure you that you are not alone in your sorrow, pain, or struggle. I have my own problems that I am fighting and overcoming, too, friend.
I’ve lost. I’ve been defeated. I had to pull myself out of holes. I had to pull myself out of depression. I had to pull myself out of the well of darkness. I’ve been at zero. I’ve been defeated and left for dead, and I’m still here. Resilient as ever, motivated and focused. So are YOU!
This is real life. So if you find yourself at the bottom, my friend, smile brightly. It’s time to embrace the wild journey ahead! Remember, amidst the darkness, there is always a flicker of light and a path leading to hope.
This is the time to get clear. This is the time to go into the God pocket. This is the moment when you shed the loser-ass mentality and victim-posturing mentality that many individuals tend to carry. It marks a significant shift towards a more empowered and self-aware way of thinking and being.
This is the perfect moment to embrace and acknowledge your innate potential for greatness. It is during these defining times that you can harness the unchanging principles of the universe to manifest the reality you desire with unwavering certainty.
No—don’t start small. START BIG. Start with the mind. Start with the body. Start with the little things you can do. Start with your daily non-negotiables, and make sure you check the boxes for what you must do. Start with prayer and meditation, reconnecting with your inner wisdom and power.
The mind is the lever for change. You will overcome. You will recover. You will bounce back. You will find hope. You are a master of your fate.
These words are not fake to me or just something to say. The tattoo on my right forearm says “Master Of My Fate.”
I’m looking at it every day to remind myself that no bottom can define me. I’m reminding you that no bottom can define you. You are a master of your fate. You can do this!
Bonus: Three things to do if you need to bounce back
1. Look, you don't have to do it alone. We are so much stronger, happier, and more potent when we exist in a community. I get that you may not want everyone to see you at your worst, but why do you want them to see you at your best? Have you ever thought about that? How dare we direct our journey by only saying that it's okay to see me when I am thriving, but when I'm down and out, I'm on my own. No. Invite at least 1-2 great people into what's going on. You don't need to tell everyone, but you need to be witnessed and have support.
2. Make a power playlist. I love music. Music has healing powers. Make a ten-track playlist of songs that give you power. Listen to it when you need to get in alignment. Mind you; they don't have to be songs with lyrics; they can be instrumentals, it can be motivational videos or even just affirmations. As long as the energy is bringing you into congruence, then you are home.
3. Stop overthinking. Absolutely, reflecting further won't necessarily enhance your progress. Engage in intensive brainstorming sessions to craft a concrete strategy, then swiftly transition your focus towards implementation. By taking decisive steps, success is inevitable. Remember, I'm here cheering you on every step of the way!
You can do this.
You are not alone.
Say no to the vices.
Say no to the distractions.
Build.
Live The Life You Deserve,
Sylvester
