The blessing in breaking

For those with the strength to embrace it, the blessing in breaking can be found amid the depths of hardship. We have the chance to undergo deep growth and transformation in moments of shattering when our hearts and spirits feel torn apart. The wisdom and resiliency that light up our future paths make their way into our lives through the fractures in our existence. In order to rebuild ourselves with greater power and clarity, breaking pushes us to face our weaknesses as well as the aspects of ourselves that we have been ignoring or denying for a long time. The benefit is in the rebirth that comes after and makes us wiser, more forgiving individuals who can meet obstacles in life with a fresh sense of authenticity and purpose. Although the breaking may be uncomfortable, it offers the chance for significant personal growth and the chance to improve.
