Hey there Champ, you look pathetic

 This place looks familiar. It's dark and cold and painful, yet very familiar. Sitting on this hard thing is the most uncomfortable feeling ever. Oh wait, it's a rock. Yup, rock bottom.

 'How did I get here?' 

A feeling of paralysis overwhelms your entire being. You wanna get back up but you don't know how. There's just no more strength left in your body to take any more pain. What's funny is, you were fully aware of the poison when you decided to go ahead and drink it anyway. You thought you'd be able to deal with the agony and the sound of your insides wringing, getting consumed by the toxin.Or maybe you didn't believe it was poison, you gave it the benefit of doubt :D. Your poison could be anything, or anyone. Surprise! You're on rock bottom now. Nah, this was definitely no surprise. Whatever got you here was approaching you in a head-on collision course, in full view. You knew you absolutely had the power to avoid it. You just thought the collision would have more thrills than wounds.

You gotta get back up again, you know you have to. First step is admitting you're there. And well,  taking some responsibility for getting there. Quit blaming the poison, or the truck you saw coming. Yeah, externally, your situation could clearly be that you are the victim...but there's way too much weakness in playing victims. You are very much aware of how victorious you already are.You know this picture of a champion sitting defeated on a cold rock is just inappropriate. It doesn't matter what got you here, all you need to figure out is why you are here. There's a purpose for the lesson you were given, the one that got you here. Yes, it was a lesson. And you were meant to learn instead of just sit here grumbling about how unfair everything is. The rules of lessons remain unchanged -unless you pass the one you have right now, you will remain there until you do. You may choose to become numb to the pain induced by the hardness of the rock and stay there  ,or you may choose to act like the champion you are and get back up. After all, what matters most in any situation is how you choose to react to it.

You are a champion that has won a battle without the need to fight! Not even once. Your real enemy, the devil, comes in a defeated package already. His only handle on you is your ignorance and unbelief in who you are. Would you fight at all if you knew the battle has already been won? What on earth are you doing on that rock,champion? That rock is actually little and essentially unreal. The One who made you a champion is Himself The Rock Of Ages. And on that Rock is light, love, strength and everything else you'll ever need to go through this life.
So, bid farewell to little rock-bottom, it was virtually a stepping stone to your next level.
