422. Why It’s Important To Start From The Bottom To The Top

Everyone’s heard stories of premature success. Someone gets themselves into a position they weren’t so much prepared for. Those who win the lottery and blow it all at once come to mind. I’m almost immediately thinking of Elizabeth Holmes as well. Being unprepared isn’t just detrimental to yourself, but to others as well. We like to think that as individuals, our bad behavior is in a “vacuum” or not affecting others when it’s not direct or intentional, but that’s simply not true. While I respect the idea of going after what you want when you’re not necessarily “ready”, as sometimes, you’ll never be ready, there’s certainly a drastic difference between not being vibrationally ready, and not being precisely experience-specific ready. After all, we can be “prepared” for many things in life, with various types of experiences. Perhaps being the oldest sibling of a large family immediately qualifies you for being a manager at a large corporation. The point I’m trying to get across is that concepts and themes are transferrable. Just because you don’t have a specific type of skill in one area, doesn’t mean you can’t make up for it in another area. There’s lots of ways to achieve with non-specific experience coming before it.

So if that’s the case, why is it important to start from the bottom? Learning lessons. When you’re at ground zero and your face is in the mud, not only are you required to crawl your way back to safety, and ultimately, success, but you take on the experience and personal responsibility of doing so. When you come out of difficult or challenging circumstances, your resiliency is incredibly strong. This, however, isn’t to say that those who have not had difficult experiences aren’t resilient. I do truly believe that we’ve lived several past lives, many which give us the confidence and ability to do things which we may feel is too much of an “imposter syndrome” jump from what we’re currently doing now. Needless to say, there’s lots of elements and levels to this conversation.

So wh is this important? We, as people, tend to have regrets and resentments regarding our past. When we see people succeed who have not had to endure the type of pain and trauma that you or others may have, there’s an immediate fall into victimization mode. And why shouldn’t you? If you are not a believer in past lives or an infinite future, you would theoretically be dealt the shit end of the stick. This is of course, why I find spirituality and manifestation to be so important. That you have the same manifestation ability as anyone, and your learning lessons are constant, thorough, and transcend space and time. Maybe you’ve got an “easy” life this time, but a more challenging one next. The options are unlimited.

If we consider that our experiences in life, good and bad are incredibly valuable and prepare us for what comes next, our pain and trauma is theoretically… invaluable. You can’t teach people emotions, real-life experiences, and more. You become smarter, stronger and wiser due to what you’ve gone through. This isn’t to say that at times, it’s a detriment. When we proactively avoid our healing, we certainly continue our suffering. Btu ideally, we go through experiences, learn, and bounce back. We become theoretically… impenetrable. The more pain and trauma we go through, and the more we understand and learn how to come back from it, the more we can take on anything… and succeed.

It may be infuriating to see others living your dream with little to no work or effort. But remember… life has a funny plan. Their arc in life may be coming. And yours may be ending. Karma, energetic cycles and more have a lot to do with it. This isn’t to say that if things are going well, you should expect a downfall. But every single life has its set of challenges. Or else we wouldn’t have a purpose here on earth.

Starting from the ground up makes you an energetic or human “machine”. In a good way. It’s like in a game when you’ve completed all your side quests. What comes next? You ascend. But that’s a whole different story…
