The discussion with Chip Nightingale concludes with his story about hitting rock bottom and then turning around to grow back to success. He was in about as bad a place one can be and was ready to call it quits. However, he was stopped and managed to turn things around. His story is one that points out that while we can be in a bad situation, that does make it the end. Sometimes it is where our story truly begins.

Rock Bottom Is Not An End

Chip’s story about rock bottom may not feel quite the same as yours or someone you know. Nevertheless, it is an example of how we can flip from a focus on our mistakes to focusing on how we can improve. The good news is that we have a lot of areas where we can improve in that situation. When we have nothing more to lose we are perfectly positioned for self-examination and growth.
