...and from the depths crawls back a different animal, a monster

Not so long ago I wrote an article about desperation and inspiration, and I talked about the importance of being in an abundant mindset, working from a place of improvement rather than scarcity.

However, my recent situation made me reevaluate this, as I have reached levels of true despair, depths I did not think to exist. The irony was that this darkness of peril gave me strength and focus like never before, the kind that I would have never achieved in times of peace and abundance. I found purpose and had answers to things I did not think of.

And it made me think back to the times when I was truly and deeply heartbroken, a new me was reborn, like a Pheonix from the ashes. This is why I'm a firm believer that no good is bad and no bad is good. Because in times of the worst situations, you are motivated to become better, you break through a barrier and become even better than your previous best. Because in times when you do hit that new best, things will only come down and you are left reminiscing of how times were great in the past, and now you're miserable.

No bad is good and no good is bad. It is just life.

I am going through extremely hard times, but I will reemerge as a version of me so strong and powerful, I will redefine my identity. And from the depths crawled back a different animal, a monster.
