The Upswing from Rock Bottom

Have you ever felt in your life, how you are going to wake up, how you are going to stand up by your own this time? Have you ever felt like you can’t see anywhere beyond from this point, how things will bring a shift and you will stand by your own? Something happens and you actually blow up and you start feeling pains in your whole body, and it is taking days and days, but still you start seeing it like maybe I won’t be able to stand up by my own this time, maybe that is the endpoint for you or can say this is going to be a last chance. Earlier, you stood up by your own, but this time you may not be able to because of the circumstances around you, and you start feeling like for me to be more creative, I am waiting for various aches and pains to subside and the wind to freshen…! You actually feel like you hit the rock bottom of the surface. You feel numb for particular moments, your brain is numb for particular moments, but when you start having a conversation with the ones you wanted, you are absolutely fine and you are absolutely feeling okay once that calls off. Again, that moment of being in numbness of your brain kicks back in.

I have found that in that though we can’t see anything beyond the lines, but we sometimes forget that these specific moments, no matter if those pains came up for you, actually brought something really special for you. We may not see it at that particular moment but that’s okay, without pushing ourselves, if we just stay with our own self and with our own pains. For sure, those moments will surely pass on, may not be now but maybe after some hours, maybe after some days… That’s okay! Isn’t it?!

Don Juan says that, “The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary man takes everything either as a blessing or a curse.”

I have found that it’s okay to seek out help. It’s absolutely okay to feel that numbness. It’s okay if you are feeling like not having a conversation with anyone or not wanting to meet with anyone. That’s absolutely fine. It’s absolutely fine to have a conversation with whom you are talking to.

Today I want to share that instead of running away from discomfort, if we would just be patient instead of running away from that discomfort, those feelings would pass on. We may find it difficult to pass those moments, but for sure those moments will surely pass on, just like a day surely comes after a night until the particular hour. Alhamdulillah, we still have time. We still have moments. Alhamdulillah, we still have those minutes and we still have the gift to wake up and take a step and take a breath. Subhan Allah! There are many who have already passed away. Subhan Allah, isn’t it great that you still have a chance to live a second life? You still have the gift of having a second chance.

Just take a moment with yourself, take a deep breath in and stay with that!

Remember that you don’t heal by suppressing it; you heal by releasing it. Be mindful of the place where you choose to release it!
