The beauty of being shattered is how the shards become our character and our marks of distinction.
Don't run from your pain — run into your pain.
When you are broken open, you have a chance to discover for the first time what is truly inside you.
Being broken open by the storm is your only hope.
It will feel impossible; like you are dying inside — this is your soul crying out for life. It may take everything you have; every ounce of will and strength. You will lose a part of yourself trying to save something essential and innocent. And when you have given everything, you will recover, and you will be set free, and you will discover there was even more in you than you ever knew.
In the crossroads of a painful crisis what we always need is a moment to breathe, pray and accept our fate with dignity. This is how we steady ourselves against the great trials of life; quietly, not always bravely, but deep down in solitude, where we find our strength to survive.
You are worthy of not reacting negatively to negativity. Don't let them kill you twice. Letting go is the only way.
You are worthy of good things, and you are a deserving and beautiful person.
Accept that you are not finished, and a new and better life is just beginning.
Accept that you can and will do what you must do to take good care of yourself.
