It happens to everyone. Sometimes our life rolls at a high speed somewhere in a precipice.

We are literally at the bottom - the extreme point of bad luck, trouble, and despair. Emotions, fitness, social life, and career - all go to hell. All you have left are your faithful companions - fear and sadness.

We all go through such tests from time to time. Drama and tragedy happen in our lives with an enviable regularity. You make plans, you set goals, you dream, and all of a sudden… everything is crossed by an unexpected and sad event.

How does a person feel on such days? Loss. As if nothing will ever happen. And you are alone in the middle of this horror desert. How do you get rid of scary thoughts that destroy you?

"Suffering and pain are always necessary for a broad conscience and a deep heart" - Fedor Dostoevsky.

Your main mistake is fear

Everyone is afraid of unforeseen events. After all, we can't predict or stop them. And when trouble has flooded your head so that you suffocate, there are two behaviors: either you continue to suffocate and feel sorry for yourself, remaining in suffering, or you try to overcome everything and continue on your way. It's just your choice and decision.

As they say, neither fate nor love has guaranteed. As soon as you solve a problem, hundreds of others will collapse. If you think about it, the worst thing that can happen to us is a disappointment. Yes, we would like everything to happen exactly as planned, but everything went differently. Do you feel hurt, disappointed? Yes. But - nothing more!

And you have little choice: either overcome the difficulties that have arisen or surrender, because it is frightening. In other words, there is only one choice - overcome fear and move on. You have nothing to lose but fear, do you understand?

Suffering makes us wise and endurance makes us strong

Life spares no one. We need to break up with loved ones, close friends, and relatives. But in life, there is absolutely nothing that could destroy man once and for all. With one condition: if you do not allow this.

We set the limits ourselves. We, and no one else, decide whether to listen to the comments of the bastards and the bad people, who have always been and will be. We decide to mourn for years the loved ones who betrayed us or to wipe away our tears and move on.

People are different. Someone becomes cruel after a betrayal or disappointment. And others turn their bitterness into an "antithesis" - they only become better and kinder. After all, they have experienced bitterness and pain, so they will never cause it to others. On the contrary, they will be comforted and supported. These are people of light who are born of the "gray of our existence."

Only when we reach the bottom, that is, when the amount of ridicule, pain, humiliation, condemnation, unhappiness reaches its limit, do we understand the true meaning of life… After all, there can be nothing worse. Why are we afraid now? By whom and why?

Only "after you have reached the bottom" and realize the full essence of what is happening, you will realize that the only option is to get up.

When you fall and then rise, you will become different. You will make decisions and you will not act under the influence of your ego, but according to your true values. You will stop proving something to someone and you will not compete. You will simply go to your dream.

So the sad experience of pain and suffering will not be in vain. Just survive the trials and move on. What do you have to lose? Nothing worse will happen, just "get to the bottom"!

There's only one thing left to do - get up!
