Rule #206 05/9/16

Ruin is the road to transformation. 

Sometimes our lives can change so fast that the change becomes quicker than our mind and hearts can process. It’s during those times I think when we feel the greatest pain.
​
I can tell you, though, from experience, you grow accustomed to it. You not only adapt but excel through it. You learn to live your new life, love your new life and honestly can’t imagine, or even really remember how things were before. You walk around with a PhD in Life Experience in your pocket and chances are you never even had to go college to obtain it.

You start self talking and asking yourself maybe my life hasn’t been so chaotic and perhaps It’s just the world around me that is, and the only real trap of life is getting attached or to comfortable to any of it. I read once that ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation. Sadly they do not teach you this in schools. On top of that nobody ever really knows how much anybody else is hurting. We thrive on distraction because most people never really learn to share their pain. We could be standing next to somebody who is completely broken and we wouldn’t even know it. ~Will "Story" Rivera
