Every breakdown is the set up for a breakthrough. Practicing resilience during the breakdown is hard; it’s so easy to pick up a bag of chips and eat away our pain, curse the notion of God and faith, and say, “To hell with therapy; I can manage this on my own.” What I know for sure is that if we are really dedicated to seeing the fullest manifestations of ourselves and the lives we lead come to pass, we must do the work to see every breakdown as the set up to the breakthrough.
