The day feels like it just can't get any worse. Everything has just gone to the pits lately. Everything I do is wrong, and nothing ever seems to go my way. I start thinking, "I can't go on like this. I can't keep working 12 to 15 hours every day." The panic, worry, and stress seep into every aspect of my life. The pressure is mounting, taking a toll on my marriage. Money matters are getting worse, and I'm struggling to repay the lenders we borrowed deeply from. Life feels like a never-ending story of stress and humiliation.
Depression is creeping in, and it feels like there's no way out. Every day, it gets harder to drag myself out of bed. My wife/husband isn't talking to me, blaming me for our marital and financial problems. Even the kids seem distant, absorbed in their desire for the latest iPhone. But then I remind myself that these worst days can turn into better ones, even great ones. Life is like a wheel of fortune – there are lows but also highs; perhaps these highs will end up the greatest of all time when I reach them.
Still, at this point, the depression grows darker as I sink deeper into despair, feeling like a complete failure. I start to believe that I'm 100% at fault for where I am. But then I began to think maybe things could have been better if I had done things differently or had more support from my family. I acknowledge that I'm working tirelessly to trade out of this dire phase, but it feels like everyone has deserted my sinking ship.
Yet, I keep reminding myself that I still matter no matter what I go through. I am worth fighting for even if no one else does; I'm still a unique human being, crafted by a higher power. Disappointments are just lessons to learn from, stepping stones to the next chapter of our lives. Even on my worst days, just showing up is an achievement. And if we can persevere through these tough times, imagine how strong we'll be when things improve.
Many people give up when life turns against them – businesses fail, and marriages end. But even when it feels like things can't get any worse, there's always a glimmer of hope. We must remind ourselves that we have a story to tell, a magic within us that can never be extinguished. And if things don't work out, we can always start over with a better idea.
There's nothing we can't do if we put our mind to it with honesty and love. Then, If others aren't willing to put in the same effort, We're better off going it alone. I've been in situations where business and personal partnerships turned into disasters, but I've learned to rely on myself. Despite the setbacks, I still matter and have that magic within me. The will to go on is enormous. To beat all odds and come out on top,
Things will happen in life, but the best guidance I've received is to stay true to yourself. Listen to your inner voice, your soul. We all have bad days—whether we're billionaires or labourers. But knowing that we all matter in some way is a positive aspect of who we are, that we're magical in our own right. This helps me cast off these worst days and let my true light shine through.
With love, light, and blessings,
