Chapter 4 - Bring the Peace from Broken Pieces

Now that you have reached a part where you have finally succeeded to identify all the roadblocks and gain your willpower to overcome them, you might be in broken pieces due to the lengthy processes you had to take. You might even find yourself not as who you were before. What’s more, you might feel that you are torn up as broken pieces.  Those frustrations, anger, distress, hopelessness and helplessness that you had been through, indeed, have torn you up into pieces.  Now how you could bring peace from all these broken pieces and come up as a better and stronger person?

The first thing you should note is, you are not broken and there is nothing to be fixed in you. All you really need is actually self-acceptance and self-love, in order to heal your broken pieces from that exhausting process in removing the roadblocks. What you really have experienced is actually an opportunity for yourself to grow which might appear as being a broken person. In real fact, you are only shedding your old self with a purpose to create a space for the real you to arise. Just keep in mind that everything in your life, especially the roadblocks; all of them are tailor-made to help you out in viewing your struggle story. Believe it or not, whatever is in the way is actually The Way!

All of those pain, disappointment, heartache, and frustration that you have experienced convey a purpose which is to awaken you to your better self. Now you only need to move to the next step and believe that you are being directed to merge with your better self.

Be Compassionate With Yourself

            Make sure that you would not be discouraged if life appears to be frenzied over time. As a human, it is common for you to make mistakes, some of those even will make you regret. However, you should never live on your regrets. Instead, try to be compassionate with yourself so that you would able to keep on growing and evolving. Make a clear perception that you are not broken, but you are actually breaking throughout your own shell to finally reveal the best from yourself. Once you would able to let the resistance go and begin to accept your life conditions, then peace and harmony would remain in your life.

          Also, keep in your mind that willpower is something that seeks to evolve within yourselves; otherwise, you would only remain stagnant in your life. This is how many people have been experiencing to lose their own identity around midlife. Some people might spend the rest of their lives struggling to fix themselves, and force themselves to become a perfect person to attract others. Yet, once they would not be accepted in the manner that they have expected, then they might believe that there must be something wrong with them. This is the point where we need to realize that some of us might be able to accept others when they are quite easier than if we have to accept ourselves. Thus, you might feel that compassion is set aside for others, and it would never appear for yourself. Thus, you need to accept yourself as what you really are. Let go of all of those things that provoke you to underestimate yourself, and accept your real essence.

Struggle Precedes Pain and Distress

If resistance would be able to lead the struggle, then the struggle will always precede pain and distress. In order to let the life energy to flow over yourself, you need to let all the resistance go and accept whatever happened in your life. You are not broken, and thus, love yourself exactly as what you are since this would move you forward to next episode of your life.

Remember that each new encounter is basically a catalyst for you to grow yourself better. The past will be always there to remind you of some lessons that you have to take from it. However, you should never bring your past into your present since it will fade out the life experience in your present moment. Thus, the main key is to have faith in your path. Even though sometimes you might find yourself absorbed in pain and suffering, strengthen your mind that this is only a temporary situation, and will eventually draw away at the right time.

Find the Hidden Strength through Your Hard Times

As a famous Ernest Hemingway said, “Everyone has been broken in a kind of way throughout their life. It’s kinda unavoidable.” Now the big question is, do you allow all those frustrations, disappointments, and distress to hold your step? You need to have faith that each of us has to tackle different obstacles or roadblocks in our own way, and it is up to us on how we would handle them, and giving up on those roadblocks will bring you nowhere but disappointment. Ultimately, once you have tackled down all the roadblocks, then you would find a great strength throughout those hard times. You would be surprised by your own hidden strength that you might have never realized before. So, get back on your feet and challenge the world once again!
