💬 Rock Bottom and Cliff Top
People talk about "Rock Bottom." When you hit rock bottom, that's when you can make a change. But there's a corresponding place I call "Cliff Top." You see, you could be too high up, to the point where you realize that none of material things can make you happy.
Right after you reach this state, you arrive at the end of the material world. You reach the limit of money, sex, and fame. You have so much, and yet you realize that despite it all, there's a void. You find yourself on the edge of a cliff, in a moment where you might be afraid to slip. "Rock Bottom" talks about this truth: it's the moment when life loses all its ability to support you and make you happy.
And then, the only thing that remains, just like in "Rock Bottom," is that you have to find what you're truly looking for. What you're looking for is yourself. You are searching for yourself. When you like a woman and love being with her, it's because you like how you feel inside when you have money. It's nice to buy things, but it's not the money that makes you feel good; it's the feeling that comes from within you.
This feeling is present both in "Rock Bottom" and on "Cliff Top." What you need to learn to do is generate that feeling without depending on external factors. You have to learn to like yourself so much that you appreciate life, to the point of bringing positive energy that isn't influenced by what you possess.
Things and people come and go.
Everything you have and everyone you love will enter and leave your life. The place we need to find is a spiritual space where we feel good with ourselves, where we trust ourselves, where I trust myself, I trust God and I trust life. Whatever happens, I know that I can be happy. I don't need to have specific things to feel fulfilled.
