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 subnormal level, the kind of scars written so deeply in your cells that you can't even see them anymore, only recognise them in someone else. And it is our wounds that create in us a desire to reach for miracles. But that's where the real work then begins. Because the fulfilment of such miracles depends on whether we let our wounds pull us down or lift us up towards our dreams. Towards our destiny.
As I'm am bombarded by a hurricane of feedback, I have come to realize that people will react to you as a result of their own mindset, rather than as a reflection of your worth. Most people use others as mirrors for their own darkness. If you have been hurt by such people, perhaps you can use these experiences to become a different kind of person - one who reflects the light within others instead of using them as echos of their own soul. Maybe your experiences of pain can lead you to being a great leader, someone who lights up the world. Your most painful struggle is ripe with opportunity. One that I can't wait to fully explore.
