Broken for Greatness.

To make an omelet several eggs have to be broken. To get coconut water, several coconuts have to broken, to mine gold the earth has to be broken and mined. We are broken a little every day and by degrees we’re remade into different people, older, wiser, better in the same clothes, with the same scars but with new glory. You are not the total sum of your mistakes, but the total sum of who you choose to be after each mistake.

Who fixes broken people? Is it only other broken people, ones who’ve already been ruined? And do we need to be fixed? It was the messiness and hurt in our pasts that drove us, and that same hurt connected us at a subdermal level, the kind of scars written so deeply in your cells that you can’t even see them anymore, only recognize them in someone else.The wound is the place where the Light enters you. We are all wounded. But wounds are necessary for his healing light to enter into our beings. Without wounds and failure and frustrations and defeats, there will be no opening for his brilliance to tickle in and invade our lives. Failures in life are courses with very high tuition fees, so I don’t cut classes and miss my lessons: on humility, on patience, on hope, on asking others for help, on listening to God, on trying again and again and again.You Have the power to become great take another step on the simple yet mandatory path greatness. Broken for greatness.
