The Crash

Thoughts From The Aftermath

No matter how good you are...

How talented you are...

How much success or power that you have gained...

You will get to a point where you crash.

Sometimes it is easy to get back from...

Just dust yourself off...

Get back in the game.

But other times...

It is so much worse.

You crash so hard...

You cannot breathe.

Even if you want to get up...

You physically cannot bring yourself to do it.

There is so much pain that it become overwhelming...

And can cause a shutdown of all of your senses...

Not because it has gone away...

But because you have to become numb to it to overcome the feeling of dying.

Sometimes...

It is also not one crash.

It is one crash...

Followed by another...

Then another.

Each time you are struck...

As you are already on the ground...

Defeated and in agony...

You question if it can become worse...

Then...

It does.

Life decides to deal blow after blow...

And you begin to wonder...

How much more can I take?

How much can you take?

This begins the voice of doubt and loathing.

The ones to tell you to stay down...

To retreat...

To give up.

Those voices...

They are tempting...

But will you listen to them?

The truth is that the vast majority of people do.

They allow those voices to determine their path...

And that marks the end of their journey.

They close their eyes...

And call it quits.

It is so much easier to do that...

But at what cost?

How will you feel if you give in to those voices?

Allow them to determine your limits?

They are so loud and overwhelming...

Do you have the strength to overcome them?

Maybe if you rest just a little bit longer...

But will it be too long?

Will it cause you to miss the opportunities that are around?

Will it spell the end of your journey?

These are the types of questions and emotions that surge through us in the crash.

It feels horrible...

It will never be easy.

Yet...

What happens if you overcome it?

Rest if you must...

Recover as you need...

But understand that the crash is only the end...

If you choose it to be.
