Through BROKENNESS - A Life Worth Living

-


BROKENNESS is a horrible feeling yet at the same time can be the beginning of a fantastic journey or rebuilding process. When we are Broken, all distractions have been removed and we're almost at our wits end. This is where there's nowhere else to go but to be open and honest with ourselves. This is where 'change' can take place within us.

 For the Young Cubicle Soldier, this can be a hard lesson learned. Very few people actually enjoy pain while most of us do whatever we can to avoid painful situations at all costs. Yet, as sure as death and taxes visit us all, so also will trials and challenges.  Running from or avoiding responsibility is a sure way to remain stunted in our maturity. The process of pushing through something that is bigger than ourselves stretches us and being stretched although not fun can be extremely rewarding.

 Your friends and loved ones may not recognize that there is even an issue brewing inside you. In truth, no one aside from yourself and God can possibly know what you are going through. They may have an understanding of the situation but no one lives in your head but you. Because of this, it may be that you are misunderstood in your trials. This is not unusual but perfectly normal.



     1. Brokenness can leave you alone with your thoughts and with God: It is wise to take advantage of this time of reflection that has been forced on you.


     2. Brokenness can leave you hungry and desperate for something more: While reflecting on your past make a list of ways you can shape your future. Don't be afraid to consider some old ideas that were discarded. They may be important now.



     3. True Brokenness should make you want to stop pretending:  Take off the image that you present to the world and embrace the changes you know must be made. This may be the most difficult part of the process but you must be honest with yourself to achieve any real and lasting growth. 





Whether we like it or not our trials, struggles and hardships can become the most effective learning tools that we can ever experience. We should harness that negativity and use it for the good in life to propel us forward to the next level.



You can be You, reach your Dreams serve God & still Enjoy Life

As the World Changes I Remain Flexible

The following is from my Ebook  Now It's My Turn  on Amazon. Setting Goals in Detail The wisest man who ever lived, King Solomon, said, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18 KJV). Gaining a clear and precise vision brings life to our innermost being. Having no vision at all, not knowing the direction we should take, and having no dreams takes life from us because we have nothing of any consequence to live for. Basically, find your purpose in life, and you will truly have a life worth living. Some people know exactly what they want and are meant to do from a very young age. Others need to focus and experience different situations both positive and negative. I found out from trial and error and from seeking God what my personal mission in life is. Perhaps your journey is similar. Your purpose in life could be to run for public office, or it could be to raise responsible children who will go out into the world and make a difference. It could be nothing more th

The Good Doctor - Pt 1 When we last left our weary travelers, they had just received the worst news an exhausted and exacerbated traveler could get especially in front of witnesses. CREDIT CARD DECLINED!!! With veins popping and expletives flowing the good Dr. Cut-Me-Up was about ready to Stroke Out! But wait...Mrs. Cut-Me-Up thinking quickly whips out her iPhone as if it’s a Walther PPK and she’s been given a license to kill...or rather charge. Yes, that’s right the Apple Farm Inn accepts Apple Pay. (I’m willing to bet most of our staff doesn’t know this). Quicker than you can say Apple Dumpling their room was secured. With a little help from a House Man, the couple, their luggage along with their wine glasses arrived at his personal favorite room 300. Barely in a seat the phone rings. “ Ah what is it now ” growls the doctor.                                                                   “ Hello, this is Claudia the ni

A Day in the Life of an Event Staff Employee or, What Ever Happened to the Other Guys?

The following is my best recollection of the North Hollywood Shoot Out  February 28, 1997 This posting of "A Day In The Life" flows in the same vain as the  A Day In The Life Of An Airport Shuttle Driver . Its all about my life chapter during the 1990's while earning a living in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, California.  But this time, rather than the Northridge Earthquake we're on the Universal Studios hill watching the Bank of America in North Hollywood. Wow what a day. photo courtesy of Personlliberty.com First, let me begin by adamantly stating that although memory fades, I know what I saw...they did not catch everyone. Unlike my piece on the Northridge Earthquake this is not so much the telling of a story as it is an observation with a question. One of many places of employment I had in the 1990's was for an event security company hired by at the time known as the Universal Amphitheatre at Universal Studios . It was actually a coo
