It is only when you hit rock bottom that you realize you have nothing left to lose. And that’s when you realize….

You can’t go on like this anymore.

How you’ve been living your life is not working.

Something needs to change.

Having nothing to lose is actually rather freeing. Because there is nowhere to go but up. It is, of course, entirely plausible to stay where you are. Stuck, in other words.

But you’ll soon come to understand just how untenable that is. Because you just feel so shitty. And doing something, anything, is worth trying.

It will require an immense effort – when you least have it in you, no less. But feeling that low also gives you a new kind of courage.

It’s the chance to re-envision your life. To choose a path of your own making. Because you realize….

You no longer care what other people think.

The time you have left is only getting shorter.

You had better do what you want before it’s too late.

So, what to do? You take action. Because you’ll do anything not to feel like you once did. There really is no other choice. At least that’s what I found.

And when you’re ready, the universe will comply. I started by reading. A lot. Whatever free time I had, I read. And when that wasn’t enough, I found a therapist. And with her help, I started to improve.

It’s been a slow, hard process, but the results have been well worth it. I may not be at the end of my road, but I am in a far better place now. And most importantly, I feel different. Unburdened, even.

And you know what? That feels great.
