<p>"I have to leave this place. It doesn't align with my vision anymore. What do you mean this is the freaking third time I would be walking this same part with no success . What do I do?".</p><p><br/></p><p>Nobody told me what to do. The moment I hit rock bottom, I did what I needed to do.</p><p>Realization was gradually dawning on me. </p><p><br/></p><p>Hi my name is Delight, and last year November/ December I hit rock bottom.</p><p><br/></p><p>When I hit rock bottom, it seemed as though everything had ended. But that was the best foundation that ever happened to me.</p><p> Last year I woke up.</p><p>I had been sleeping, not because I was tired or felt dizzy. Not because the tse tse fly of laziness had bitten me to cause me to sleep. And I wouldn't say it was because I hadn't hit rock bottom.</p><p>But I didn't hit hard enough.</p><p>This time my ego had to break.</p><p><br/></p><p>Younno when you hit rock bottom, nobody tells you what to do. You do what you need to do. Suddenly the fear of mediocrity hits you hard again. And I go as " babe you might need to lock in oo, no one is coming to save you". </p><p>I didn't have money, but I had confidence. </p><p>" A poor man with confidence is unstoppable". So I wore that quote like diamond chains.</p><p>And yes, I moved to a new city for the purpose of changing my life.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I hate mediocrity. When I catch myself, I'm pissed. I'm like " Delight how dare you"!!. It's not your path and it's not a representation of Christ.</p><p>I hate the barest minimum. I hate low life. </p><p>Give me 5 valid reasons why I should not win, and I would stop trying. And if you give me 5 valid reasons, they have to align with the success of failure. I can't fail shamefully, maybe I would manage failing successfully. </p><p>That's how bad I don't want to fail.</p><p><br/></p><p>When I hit rock bottom. I scattered everything. Yes, you! Scatter everything. P~s don't say it is me that told you.</p><p>But that is a trick that works. </p><p>Scatter everything.</p><p>Move to a new city.</p><p>Start from scratch.</p><p>Break up with that person.</p><p>Quit that job.</p><p>Do it unprepared, do it afraid, do it uncertain.</p><p><br/></p><p>You might most likely regret it, but go through the process of regretting it and building your life back. Sometimes "shege" is the best eye clarity.</p><p>Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone owns up to it. I've hit rock bottom, but when you are there the only way is back up. Own up to your mistakes and work differently. I didn't pass an exam (multiple exams) , I fell in a situationship love story, I lost friends who had left me because they went a step ahead of me, they stopped reaching out, and even if I tried to they always acted cold. I fell into depression, I was seeking validation from the barest minimum. Remember you have a choice and the only way is getting back up.</p><p><br/></p><p>You think at least you have something to still hold onto, but when you hit rock bottom, you realize that was the basement.</p><p><br/></p><p>ROCK BOTTOM WILL TEACH YOU LESSONS MOUNTAINTOPS COULD NEVER.</p><p><br/></p><p>When I hit rock bottom I realigned.</p><p>First thing first; </p><p>I had a vision. Which not everyone does. Some people just accept whatever life gives them. No push.</p><p><br/></p><p>Secondly I had plans that matched my vision; I was going to sit for this exam again. A different strategy, the right materials, a new discipline, a target to meet at a particular time, the right people, the right mindset and the right push. Guessed who out passed the exam? MEEEEEEEE!!!!</p><p><br/></p><p>Thirdly I had a strategy to make my vision happen!. " He who fails to plan, plans to fail". Everything down to the water I drank had to match my vision. I questioned my vision. Why this?</p><p><br/></p><p>" If a man has a WHY, he can handle almost any HOW".</p><p><br/></p><p>Fourthly I knew how to communicate my vision. I had tea conversations with like minds. And this pushed my passion to my potential. I did incredibly well through out the process.</p><p><br/></p><p>I went ahead to overcome my fear.</p><p>"I can do it", I always told myself. Don't run away from your fears, be more fearful of possible regrets.</p><p>COURAGE: You are scared but you push forward anyway.</p><p><br/></p><p>Lastly I didn't convince myself to continue on a bad path. The moment I knew I was sleeping too much, I woke up without thinking twice...lol.</p><p>The result was as a pre-locking in few months to 2025. And I would boldly say this year has been my best year this far. I've had more than 5 major wins of my life this year. </p><p>Hitting Rock bottom was the point of realization for me.</p><p><br/></p><p>When you hit rock bottom, nobody tells you what to do. You just have that sense of urgency to stand up. It's like you reach a particular face in life and you have to change your circle, you have to loose weight. You don't need permission, you just start.</p><p><br/></p><p>The thing is I keep reaching rock bottom several times. It never stops. At every point you realize this is the end and you need to reset.</p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
