The Making

The making is in the breaking… Yup. I prevented myself from being broken.  It’s taken a year to mend myself back “together”… And wonder if I had made the right choice. In life, there are very few opportunities to be broken. Many of us spend much our time preventing ourselves from being broken. At the breaking point, one has two options. The first option is to be broken.  The breaking process could get ugly. The outcome is unknown and fear is provoked. The second option is to do whatever it takes to prevent the breaking from happening and proceed as usual. The outcome is known, comfortable, and familiar. Have you ever experienced this before? Which option would you choose? Which outcome do you fear most? As difficult as it may seem, the act of breaking is a gift. It takes great courage to allow and accept uncertainty. One must look beyond the trees and see the possibilities. Fear hold us back. Now, I must break myself open. This “breaking” will not be an easy task… but what I do know for sure is, “the making” will be worthwhile.
