Ever been at that low point financially where the full effects of frustration suddenly hits and it seems there is no where to turn to? I have been there a few times and can tell you this for free: It isn't a pleasant experience at all. Yet I reckon that getting to experience that point wasn't only significant but necessary to my growth.

What is in going through financial turmoil that suddenly propels the desire to becoming better? For me it was that the consequences of being in a financial mess were tossed in my face and became too close for comfort. It was clear that a change was necessary. For me, desperately seeking help from people a few years ago changed all that.

If it is a smooth ride all the way, there is a big chance that we wouldn't be able to thoroughly appreciate the need for protecting our assets while we have them at our disposal. This is especially true if we have been protected by others for a sustained period, or have worked in a single organization long term.

The main effect of experiencing a low financially is what I call the will to contend. We finally come to the realization that we are solely responsible for bringing ourselves out of an unpleasant financial situation and behave accordingly.

Certain lows will make us take a critical look at our environment and seek out opportunities where we previously ignored, or overlooked. I decided to become fully immersed in the Hive chain when I realized just how much of a gem it stands to be in the future. This would not have been possible if I didn't experience any lows.

What's more, experiencing one or two lows in our lifetime make us weary of repeating the same experiences even when we have recovered. This puts us on our guard, and we begin to act in kind - seeking out various ways to protect our position as we realize that changes can quickly happen that erodes any gains we have made if we aren't careful.

Conclusion

There isn't any success story of an ordinary person I have come across without some significantly low points to reference. It must also be said that some have experienced this and have been broken by it. It is when we find the courage to forge ahead and overcome that we suddenly realize the benefits of having certain things happen sometimes. I'm always grateful for any experience that comes my way, even when I don't necessarily pray for it
