The Illusory Power of Rock-Bottom and How to Avoid Hurting Yourself...

in #life5 years ago (edited)

Hello, dear Steemians!

Humans are emotional creatures that cling onto their sensations more than they ever cling onto their thoughts and logical arguments.

We often find ourselves amused and entertained by melodramatic scenarios. Even most of our acclaimed artistic creations are a product of dramatic thinking. Our emotions play a key role in how we see life and how we make our decisions.

Certifiable scientific evidence might not compel you to make an important decision, but emotions will do that for you in a matter of minutes. But not always does this dramatization work in our best interest!

A lot of people romanticize their mentality and their willingness to set a beginning for their endeavors. In this culture, we have come to believe that rock-bottom can help us get up on our feet and give us the strength to walk the entire journey undisturbed by distractions and characteristic shortcomings.

I am here to tell you that rock-bottom is just a myth that constantly pushes us to make the same mistakes again and relive our harmful past experience. As I have told you before, the result of us not listening to our experience is that we are doomed to relive it over and over again.

The illusory myth of rock-bottom is the same sort of mistake; the idea that the harder you fall, and the deeper you dive, the stronger you will emerge. That is a lie we keep telling our own mind because the truth is hard.

The truth is that we are too afraid of starting to do something with resolve and determination. We believe that strength must come from an unnatural source or a well of inspiration hidden beneath our deepest depths of feeling and existence.

That is why we fantasize about the idea of a perfect beginning that follows a rock-bottom.

It is true that a lot of people have found their voice after hitting the darkest moments of their life, but longing for that moment is as fallacious as it is ludicrous, since by doing that you are only tricking yourself into believing something that is fictitious and cannot be pressured into existence by mere desire.

By hurting yourself over and over again and falling into the dark pit of despair by doing the things that strip you of your ideals and push you away from your values in the hope of hitting a rock-bottom will leave you with an empty soul and a wasted time.

If you want something done, do it yourself. Do not wait for you perfect moment. Do not wait for an accidental and supernatural source of strength and willpower.

You already have everything you need.

Take steps today, and avoid the pitfall of the romanticized rock-bottom.

A BIG HUG!

life is the name of ups and down but successful always struggle continuous likes river so don't always work work and work

This makes sense to me. Everyone thinks that if you ever hit rock bottom, then they will begin to see your life more clearly...but falling that far makes for a tough recovery. It probably works for some people, but not for most. Instead put all your effort and time into passions or businesses, And then remember to savor the rewards or freedom that results from this. Find things that bring you joy and a sense of purpose. Don't wait to take action basically. Waiting is a dying man's game.

You are absolutely right it is very tough to rise from rock bottom. We have to act continuously so we can make recovery before the bottom.

If you want something done, do it yourself. Do not wait for you perfect moment. Do not wait for an accidental and supernatural source of strength and willpower.You already have everything you need
You're absolutely correct dear @chbartist that there is no specific right time instead anytime is the best time and whenever we want to do something, we must start it without wasting time. As a human we have great determinations and motivating capabilities which will take us a very long way.

Thanks for the post @chbartist but I also noticed that people over here are loosing enthusiasm, though you recently posted about enthusiasm. Why I am saying is that because in now I can see only 5 to 6 votes on each comments while total comments are so many. In few recent posts, I could see 30 to 35 comments but votes are very less as compare to comments. There could be two reasons, one- people loosing their motivation and need to motivate them again or 2- there are more new people who are not aware about this voting practice we have been following since long to support community.
You may have a different point of view about it but whatever I felt, i shared with you. Needless to say that you have way more knowledge than me but I just wanted to notify you. I hope you would have also noticed about it. Thanks for your support as always. 🙏🙏

I completely agree to this point of view we should not wait for certain perfect moment to come and fix wings to our dreams.
You curate your blogs with such creativity and owning such positive philosophy and mind set is a blessing in itself.
Keep flourishing.

Good afternoon

I have always had the idea, that the decisions that are made in life, should never be taken when we are sad, or the ecstasy of happiness, since they end up being emotional decisions, that do not guarantee at all the achievement of the objectives that you have set.

People who set goals and, follow a route and for different reasons, do not reach the goal and insist again on that route, are definitely doomed to failure.

We must innovate, try different options, plan our activities and, if in the development of the activities, we do not reach our objectives, we re-plan and look for other options, we can not remain stuck in a single plan that for different reasons may not be executed

With Planning, astusia, effort and work we can achieve all our goals.

Regards ...

great words! definitely agree, the perfect time and perfect opportunity doesn't exist! You have to do it yourself and every moment is the perfect moment!

Nothing is free or easy in this world and if you find it that way, you will pay another way. Rock bottom is tough but also provides you with the experience of perseverance and grit which are key factors to success in the long run.
