bless the thing that broke you down and cracked you openĀ because the world needs you open
Rebecca Campbell
A friend asked me over dinner: āDo you think youāve got life figured out nowā? I laughed and took a deep breath. Every time I think I do, life finds a way to humble me. So no, I havenāt figured it all out. Frankly, I donāt think I would trust anyone who says they have. Weāre all figuring it out as we go. Believe me.
I think back to all the times Iāve felt broken, cracked open, ego shattered. Looking back, I have 100% conviction that I can draw a straight line from those breaking points to seasons of life that felt richer, more aware, more loving. More me. Those unpleasant experiences were necessary to prepare me for what was to come.
So now whenever Iām in it - really in the thick of it - the question that arises is: What new possibility is this preparing me for? Because I know in my heart one thing: the best is always yet to come.
