Rock Bottom - The Emporium of Delights

Yesterday I mentioned that Rock Bottom was the ultimate place to be. Granted it is not the nicest place to be but it is the ultimate place to be. Even in Napoleon Hill's book "think and grow rich" it is clear that many very wealthy and hugely successful people have been at Rock Bottom or at least the very end of the road before a meteoric climb.

"Where am I right now?"

This is the first question you need to ask and answer honestly, without a 100% honest answer you cannot even begin to get out of Rock Bottom and you may even realise that upon your honest answer you are nowhere near Rock Bottom.





For me the answer has been painful, a soul searching period and one that is more frightening than any Stephen King novel. It's time when you look in the mirror and look at yourself and ask "how do others REALLY see me?". Mine hurt and my findings were not as I had thought them to be for over 35 years. I have blamed too many in the past and on the reverse used too many, the truth is me and that it what you need to find. The only place you will find it is in the solitude of Rock Bottom!

Once you know where you are and who you are only then can The Emporium of Delights begin to be opened. Like child in a candy shop the delights of Rock Bottom make ones eyes open like saucers and there is an immediate desire to grab as much as possible and stuff ones face. STOP!

I have learned the in the Rock Bottom Candy Store you need to choose what you want carefully and in moderation, remember you want to rise up and extra weight always prevents this. Like snow of the wings of a Boeing the extra weight and consequences of what is on the wings can prove fatal! At Rock Bottom you have all the time in the world for your pre-flight checks, do them, repeat them, check them and do them again.

Entering the Emporium of Delights

Now that you have done everything possible to find out and confirm that you are at Rock Bottom you may enter, you have the key now use it!

The doors of life will now open to you. Other around you may well be the ideal guide or they may well get you lost hoping to keep you down, you need to learn who to trust and learn also to trust yourself more. Having the right people giving the right advice will be the only way that can lead to the ultimate benefit of Rock Bottom that will be revealed in the next few days.

The First Gift from Rock Bottom

The Emporium of Delights offers many gifts, some to help many to hinder, but all have 2 unique traits. Each and Every one of them is a choice you make and Each and Every one of them is controlled in your mind. I am not going to go on and on about the law of attraction but with a little reading you will soon see there is quite a lot of truth in "what you think is what you get" - for a fuller understanding click here.

The first gift from Rock Bottom is Freedom of Choice. You cannot sink any further and you can now choose the direction you wish to go, there is only one real choice. You can choose what, how, where and why you want to do. You have the Freedom to choose even the most outrageous or risky options to gain momentum. Working for yourself may be the answer or you may have to work for a boss. At Rock Bottom you have the power to choose.

Remember with Freedom of Choice comes acceptance of the outcome, yes you can get knocked down but at Rock Bottom the fall may be painful like a boxer being repeatedly punched to the head, but the fall is short. However the right choice has massive consequences because mentally a small step seems a lot bigger at Rock Bottom. Remember your Pre-Flight Checks to ensure you have made the right choice!

Freedom of Choice is something we are all born with. We have complete control over our thoughts and our actions but many of us have not passed the drivers test for the use of thought and action and most of us fail to accept the consequences preferring to blame others or use others - I was in the box! I am stepping out of it now...follow me!

The first parcel you have to open in the Emporium of Delights is the small scruffy one with your name on the tag, in the very dull wrapping paper buried by all the other shining, fantastic looking parcels. All that Glisters is not Gold and at Rock Bottom nothing is more true. Open up the parcel and you will see it is something you already have but have never used...you and your thoughts! It is also a clean sheet of paper to begin a fresh, successful life!

Tomorrow...I'll start on the road out of Rock Bottom and finally to the conclusive answer that makes Rock Bottom such a great place to be!
