Elizabeth Lesser writes in her book Broken Open that during times of challenge we can either be broken down and defeated or broken open and transformed.
Divorce is one such challenge that tests our strength to the core. But how we decide to walk this journey is the key to whether we end up broken down or opened up to the new possibilities we have in our lives.
Take each moment, during this difficult time, and make mindful decisions. Look at the many choices before you and plan deliberately. Take advantage of the feelings you have to look deep within yourself. Find your core. Discover who you really are.
I truly believe we are all exactly where we are supposed to be to learn the things we are supposed to learn in each moment. Own that idea and learn and grow through this painful process called divorce. It is but a moment in your life. Use it to become the person you want to be.
