Sometimes you need to hit rock bottom to realize that you lost your focus.

Currently I am reading the book “How to get rich” by Donald Trump. So far this book had already quite a few good points, ideas and inspirations for me. But there was something in particular that stood out to me, maybe because I somehow was able to relate very well to it since I went through a similar experience. Of course with Donald Trump everything is much bigger and my situation compared to his was miniscular, but the principles are similar.

He wrote about that at some point he completely failed in his business since he did not focus. He was in debt with 9.2 Billion Dollars and couldn’t make his interest payments any more. He realized why he fell so far from being so far on the top. He lost focus and didn’t pay attention his business any more. But instead of getting defeated by this it made him stronger and he renounced and his business became even bigger. He didn’t let this situation defeat him, but he took it as an inspiration to get back on track.

I think there is a great lesson to be learned for a lot of us. We might face obstacles, hurdles challenges and they might bring us even to the lowest point in our life, but instead of giving up and putting our head in the sand, we should look at it as a challenge and an inspiration to emerge stronger, bigger and better.
