Ground 0

When I first learnt the meaning of success, I had spent most of my life in just about every form of conflict. Conflict and damage is a product of either ours or someone else's failure to let go of something inside. We all find ourselves in a state of conflict at some point in our lives. What's important about mental, spiritual and physical warfare is our ability to take something from it and become better. An over comer sees the mistake and understands the consequence enough that they do whatever it takes to avoid making the same dilemma.

Some may wonder who I am. In this world I'm a nobody. I am one person out of a worldwide population just shy of 8 billion others. I live in a regional location in Australia where the water supply for our towns have been estimated to run out in 2020. This is a small issue in the larger scheme of things. I say this because as much as it may hurt to accept that we aren't as big as we thought in the universe, the truth cannot be simply flicked out of view. To the people I'm a nobody, but to the universe I am everybody.

Where does everyone of us start before we make that winning stride? Ground 0. Rock bottom. We don't all begin our lives in the seats with the best view. Most of us end up in the wrong seats watching the wrong game. The difference between being where you don't want to be and being where you shouldn't is the exact same as being at a game you hate as a pose to playing in the game you hate. If you don't want to be somewhere, leave. If its not your court, find a new one.

Ground zero is often looked at as the last place you want to be. I think that's 100% WRONG. We do not come as far as we do in life just to have it end in a ditch. Life is already to short for that. Ground zero is the place to be. When you're just starting out on a new book, or maybe you failed the last chapter so you're starting a new one. That is where amazing happens. It's when the coal has been buried, put under pressure, taken away from people and put somewhere that seems like the end. That is when we become diamonds.

Don't let the ending of your chapter stop you. Take what you have experienced as a lesson and let it fuel you to push forward and write your next journey.
