Why Life Breaks You Before It Sets You Free
When life falls apart, it is not the end, but the rebirth of a deeper, stronger, and softer version of yourself.
A friend once asked me, “Why is my life so much harder than others’? My spouse left me alone with my little son. Yet I see people around me complaining about such small, silly things. Why can’t they see the blessings they have?”
Her words stayed with me.
Yes, her life was harder than most people around her.
But you know what else is true?
Someone else, somewhere in the world, is living a life even harder than hers. Then there’s another person who has it harder than that person.
If we start comparing, no one truly has an “easy” life. It’s just that some lives carry quiet battles the world cannot see.
But here’s the real difference — It’s not about how hard life is. It’s about how we look at life when it gets hard.
Constant Growth
Have you ever looked back and realized that the things that crushed your soul a decade ago seem nothing now?

Because of the growth. Because of the lessons that a crushing experience gave you.
