Nobody ever tells you how to deal with extreme failure in life. You end up having no idea what to do, where to go, or who to talk to.

Incredible insights and growth can be gained through our darkest times. Here are 6 benefits of being at rock bottom: 1. Hitting rock bottom is the beginning of questioning everything that you've ever thought to be true. You question your motives, other people's motives, your beliefs, your fears, why you did things, why you didn't do things, why you attracted certain people and circumstances, why you succeeded, why you failed. It's from this point that you build again, from the ground up, with a fresh perspective. 2. You discover that your life choices were simply not sustainable. In those dark moments of despair, yo...

"Happiness can be achieved through training the mind."-Dalai Lama Acceptance is allowing your thoughts and feelings to be as they are. It doesn't matter if they are painful or pleasant-stop fighting reality. Let your thoughts and emotions come and go naturally without neither forcing nor silencing them. Acceptance doesn't mean giving up. On the contrary, it's admitting your feelings and life events. When you accept all your experiences-both pleasant and painful-you are expanding your mind. The opposite of acceptance is avoidance. Painful experiences are like a wild river; we need to cross them if we want to get to the other side. Your thoughts are a lens that clouds your vision. Your thoughts are wild wolves that live inside you if you don't domesticate them, they will eat you alive. If negative feelings come up, notice them, and move on. Thank you for reading.
