Only by falling apart do we learn how little was holding us together.
Collapse feels like ending, yet it is often the most honest beginning. When the pieces scatter, we finally see which ones mattered, which were illusions, and how much of our “stability” was only habit dressed as strength.
Shatter vs. Revelation
Wholeness can hide the cracks; breaking reveals them. In the rubble, clarity emerges - the truth of what held you, and what merely leaned against you.
The Lesson in Truth
Falling apart is not failure; it is instruction. The pieces that survive the fall are the ones worth keeping. The rest was scaffolding you mistook for self.
Practical Guidance
Let the break teach: Collapse is a more honest mentor than comfort.
Keep what endures: The pieces still whole are the real foundation.
Release the rest: What shatters easily was never your strength.
Today’s Practice
Today, allow one false structure to fall - and see what remains standing.
