just the name rock bottom sounds like there are no worse places to be.

There are people out there who would rather have your rock bottom life than their current life.

Your worst day ever is truly their best day.

So just remember that.

And I also want to encourage you that there are positive aspects that can come from rock bottom.

So I'm going to tell you guys some of the ways that you can shift your mindset and realize these things about rock bottom that maybe you haven't thought of before.

Number one thing is that rock bottom has the power to strip away all illusions.

When everything's going fine and dandy in our life, we truly do have these rose-colored lenses on, meaning we are seeing things not always for what they actually are.

Maybe we are having a skewed perception of things.

Maybe we're living in la-la land in a little bubble, very shielded, very sheltered.

We aren't seeing the truth, the harsh truths, because when we are in motion and we're going through life so quickly, it's so easy for things that need to change or that aren't good for us to just kind of pass by, just skim the surface.

And so we can be living.

around these things but we don't notice it because we are just moving we're on the go we're just having happy-go-lucky rose-colored lenses time we don't realize the things that actually are weighing on us and having a negative impact so that's the good thing about rock bottom is i feel like you can truly take off those lenses because when we are going through the motions of life quickly we

do have a skewed perception.

I hate to say it, we do.

And it's not a bad thing always, okay?

I like being in little happy delululand every now and then, but the delusion's gone.

Once you've hit rock bottom, the delusion is gone, which is a good thing.

There's a lot of people in life who are very delusional to the point where they will never be able to look at their life and look at a relationship or a situation or a job or an environment and say, yeah, this is making my life so much worse.

When you're at rock bottom, you can strip away that aspect of illusion and see things for what they truly are, which is a superpower that you don't have when you are feeling like you're on top of the world.
