Nothing great comes out of comfort. You are just happy with your life, and you keep going with the flow. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. For most people, that’s more than enough. But for something great to happen, like something really amazing, you have to be out of your comfort zone. You can’t live a normal and protected life with all the people around you and expect to do something extraordinary. Why? Because you don’t have that fire in the belly. You are not knocked down by life. You are not left alone to deal with your own shit. In short, you are not hungry enough. And failure makes you hungry. Heartbreak makes you hungry. Loneliness makes you hungry. I know. Of course, these things will rip your soul apart first. You will feel all lost and all shattered. There will be no one to help you or guide you. So you will waste some time in self-pity and giving up on life. But if you can soak in all that pain and still believe in yourself, then this fire will fuel your rise. You will be very dangerous. As now, you don’t need anyone. You are not seeking support. You are seeking what you really deserve from life. You are not distracted by relationships. You are focused on what you want. That’s it.
I know it sounds bookish. But look around. Ask any person who has done anything great. And that person will tell you how you have to hit rock bottom before you can rise to the stars. There is something about pain that changes the core of your soul. These smiles, this laughter, these friendships, that love, all these things are great. But pain, pain really shakes your soul. You get to see more within. You become deeper as a person. You start to know yourself better. You realize what you want from life. And that solitude changes you as a person. You become a better human being. You realize your potential. You weave back those broken dreams. And you put all your energies into something so big that it will make every tear you have shed feel like a brick that built you your castle. So yes, be sad, cry it out, feel miserable, but then, soak in all the pain to rebuild your life.
