There I was, perched at the edge of despair, crushed by the weight of my dreams unfulfilled. Like an endless ocean, my seemingly insurmountable disappointments stretched out ahead. Blockades in my professional life were relentless, and the glossy facade of “Success Insider” weighed heavily. As the founder, I felt submerged in quicksand, unable to inch forward, paralyzed by the stagnant phase of my journey. It was a lull; it was my lull.

It was around this time I stumbled upon the profound wisdom of Albert Einstein: “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” I paused, reflecting upon his words. Surely, if Einstein could combat the stagnation of his revolutionary research, I, too, could withstand my lull. The tragedy was not found in the struggle itself, but rather in the surrender.

I remembered then, a story I'd heard about another inspirational figure, Richard Branson. When he started, he had numerous failures. His record company was on the brink of collapse multiple times. But he didn't allow the lulls to break his spirit. Instead, he used them as a springboard, propelling him further towards his ambitions. Today, he's a distinguished entrepreneur, an emblem of resilience against external turbulence.

His story taught me to never give up. Failures, setbacks, lulls, they're not the end. They are, in fact, stepping stones in our path towards greatness. Such times don't measure your competence; rather, they refine it. Have you ever met anyone who's found true success without first knowing struggle? I haven't.

Lulls are the unwelcome visitors in our lives. They're uncomfortable, forcing us to question our abilities, our potential. But herein lies a transformative truth: lulls are not a sign of weakness; they are opportunities—opportunities to learn, to grow, and to come back stronger. When you're in a lull, do you let it define you, or do you rise up and redefine it?

Lulls are relative. Society may categorize periods of personal growth and reflection as lulls, mere stagnations. But they are far more; they are times of incubation, moments where growth happens out of sight. So, the ultimate question is, how do we reinterpret these lulls? How do we detach from societal implications and embrace them?

Remember, no setback is permanent. Consider this analogy: a bow and arrow. To shoot the arrow, you first pull it back. In many ways, this mimics life. We often retreat or face setbacks— we pull back, but only to propel forward with greater force.

As part of my self-discovery journey within this lull, I designed the LMA course to assist others in navigating their obstacles. Leveraging the lessons learned, I aimed to empower individuals to redefine their lulls, stepping out of the shadows of despair and becoming their own beacon of hope. Imparting this knowledge became my mission, my testament against surrendering in the face of stagnation.

Yes, it may feel like you're stuck at the bottom. But remember, the bottom is a great place to start. It's only when we hit rock bottom do we summon an indomitable courage to crawl out and rise. And boy, do we rise! As Tim Han, my own story bears testament to this.

In conclusion, honour your lull, my friend. Don't disown it, disheartened and weary, for every ambitious journey is punctuated with lulls. They're life's surefire way of preparing us for the journey ahead, to strengthen us, unite us with our courage, and ultimately, enable us to etch our stories of resilience.

So, when life throws a lull your way, remember it's nothing but a transition. It's temporary. Like a butterfly breaking free from a cocoon or a diamond forged under pressure, keep pushing forward. Allow the lull to shape you, to mould you, but never to define you. Because you're not merely surviving; you're evolving, turning life's lows into stepping stones for your future endeavour. Always remember, things can only go up from here.
