Rock bottom

How many times in life have you thought “this is it rock bottom, it doesn’t get any worse” how many times have you thought that’s the worst you can ever feel? I am sure it has been more then once. Why do you think that is? Possibly because life is never easy, there is always something there to bring you down someone to cause you pain. The saddest part is, we let it happen. What if we all just decided “nope I’m not going to let this hurt me” maybe we can choose to just walk away from the hurt and choose happiness instead. Could it be possible? I can tell you one thing, that first time you thought you hit rock bottom you were wrong because at one point you thought it again. The positive to that is, you made it, you got passed that rock bottom and you can do it again. When I was younger I went to the dentist and had teeth pulled, the dentist said something to me that will forever stick in my head. He said “when it’s all over just say out loud that didn’t hurt at all even if it did hurt” naturally as a child I thought “why would he say something so stupid of course it hurt” now as I get older I realize he was teaching me a valuable lesson that I should have followed “mind over matter” even if something hurts you, tell yourself it could be worse. Tell yourself that it hurt but you made it out alive and at the end of the day that’s all that matters. My point is, you can’t prevent something from hurting you it’s all a part of life, what you can control is how you handle it. These last couple months I have had someone constantly try to hurt me, and believe me I let it. I wish I would have realized this sooner but I didn’t, I let it take away from my peace and that should never happen. From now on I fully plan to remember that dentist and say “you can’t hurt me, I have survived worse” this is just another bump in my road and there’s so much more beautiful things in life to focus on. Not everyone wants to be happy, that’s okay let them be miserable. Make sure that YOU are happy and don’t worry about what someone else has said or done. Dwelling over it isn’t going to solve anything it’s just going to keep draining your happiness which is most likely that persons goal in the first place. Don’t let them win, smile and keep going at your own pace making your own memories.
