Elon Musk Shows Us The Perfect Way To Get Back To Work After A Bad Breakup


Breakups are something that we all dread. As a human being, this phase is almost inevitable. You got to love someone because love makes you happy. It is all emotional and if you are more of a Sherlock fan that it is more of a chemical thing. Ok, no kidding but you still need to get back up and live.

It is hard to imagine living your life without a person around whom you had planned everythng out. From holding that hand for the first time to leaving this world in their presence. Indeed, it is one of the toughest things in the whole world to absorb and then let go of as you need to get your act together otherwise you give it the power to break you. 

The world you have created for yourself and your loved ones shall not be destroyed in a moment like this. Why do you ask? I don't know. You must have your reasons. I have mine. Life is so unpredictable that we should never risk not giving it one more chance. So, when that day arrives you should be in a better state having learned from your past. If you were at fault, reflect on yourself when there is time and if you aren't at fault, then let it go. 

Now, this letting go is not easy at all when you are in the middle of designing your dream world. Most of us are in love when we are bound to make our career. You may be 18 or 35 or within that range with some exceptions. This is the time we fall in love and this is the time we are working on our dreams. Even one of the richest men of our times, Elon Musk is going through such an emotional crisis after his breakup with Amber Heard that he has some very important tips to help you get your act together and get back to work.

This is what that conversation looked like when Elon returned after taking a 5-minute restroom break in the middle of being interviewed by a Rolling Stone profiler. 

He said he needed to unload few other things from his mind before answering a few question related to Tesla's market strategy. 

"We can reschedule for another day if this is a bad time," The profiler offered.

Musk tries to compose himself and then declines. "It might take me a little while to get into the rhythm of things. I just broke up with my girlfriend, I was really in love, and it hurt bad." 

Then soon after that, he corrects himself: "Well, she broke up with me more than I broke up with her, I think."

"I've been in severe emotional pain for the last few weeks. Severe. It took every ounce of will to be able to do the (Tesla Model 3 launch event in July)and not look like the most depressed guy around. For most of that day, I was morbid. And then I had to psych myself up: drink a couple of Red Bulls, hang out with positive people and then, like, tell myself: 'I have all these people depending on me. All right, do it!'" added Musk.

He Goes On To Describe Why He Needs A Partner

"I'm looking for a long-term relationship. I'm not looking for a one-night stand. I'm looking for a serious companion or soulmate, that kind of thing," said Musk, after asking his profiler if he knew of anyone whom he could date.

"I will never be happy without having someone. Going to sleep alone kills me," the 46-year-old father of five said. "It's not like I don't know what that feels like: Being in a big empty house, and the footsteps echoing through the hallway, no one there — and no one on the pillow next to you. F---. How do you make yourself happy in a situation like that?"

I know there are many who would argue that the whole concept of love is flawed but then, what is perfect? Musk obviously has everything one could imagine, he can afford anything he wants and is definitely moving fast enough towards chasing his dreams but even he is going through this inevitable phase. 

What else can you do to overcome it?

Though there are many other things you can do to overcome this phase like you can take a day or two off for the pain to settle down. Share your thoughts and feelings with your bestie but not in the office. You can keep working on something mechanical which does not require you to get your creative juices on. Take a 10-15 minute stroll or two during office hours to let your mind wander.

What you need to take care of is that to let yourself know that you do not need to take life-changing drastic career decisions. If you allow yourself to do that, you will do it with a vague understanding and a very weak foundation. Learn to be patient and let time take its toll and if you still find yourself unsatisfied with what you have learned till now then you need to listen to what Joe Rogan has to say.
