How My Seed of Creativity Germinated in a Chaotic Soil

Chaos, damaging as it is, remains an essential part of the human life cycle. No matter how we try to keep it out of reach, it is in our learning and growing process.
We detest associating with chaotic experiences, failures, and their likes and refusing to have a mind shift of what we could benefit from or learn from some of these ugly situations.
Thus, we must stop looking at the negativity and concentrate on the beautiful outcome associated with that.
Often, our self-discovery, creativity, motivation, resilient nature are facilitated by those worse or what we termed chaotic happenings.
Before writing on Medium, I had so much going on with me emotionally and mentally. At that point, I was already on a journey with a life coach. I literary was in a state of a nervous breakdown.
During one session with my life coach, I got engaged in a self-awareness exercise. Sincerely, I blew hot and cold during the practice because it seemed ridiculous, like a kindergarten pupil.
To me, it was not what I needed at that so important time. Anyways, I had to bite the bullet. It was a fun practice, though.
So, I shifted in this nervous breakdown period, and my breakdown transformed into a nervous breakthrough.
My chaotic rocky ground turned out to be the fertile soil that germinated my creativity; writing in Medium. I would say — serendipity.
Experience is not what happens to a person, but what he makes out of it. — Aldous Huxley
Many heroes that received accolades gathered trophies, or even in daily offices and home activities, had fallen flat on their faces at some point in life.
Our chaos, tumult, pains, failures are inseparable from us. They are what makes our stories successful. We are they, and they are us.
As much as we celebrate those victories, good times, we should also recognize that unwanted events play a crucial role in our lives.
Since chaos is an inevitable part of human propensity, we could leverage them. It amplifies our performances, skills, and self-development in general.
