Broken Light

Brokenness. Lost of order, lose of control. These are things that people are afraid of. Afraid to get hurt, afraid to lose what they have, afraid for things to change, fall out of order, or fall apart. But let's take a look at something. The world  was falling apart around George Washington. Things were going wrong in so many places. He ended up becoming a general in the revolutionary war, and because of that saw some really hard times. But what happened to him through all of that? He became a greater man, and went on to be the first president of the U.S. Why am I saying all of this? Because through the breaking apart of his life and the world he knew he went on to lead a greater life. Now, let's take a look at light. Just plain white light. What happens when you break it apart? It becomes a rainbow.
    This sort of thing takes place in our lives all the time. A part of our life starts to break apart and get torn open. It's painful and hard, but in a way it's beautiful how it shapes who we are. We can guide how it shapes us as well. We aren't subjected to be a certain way, but can make choices through everything.
    We make our lives so strict and streamlined that they become plain and while we still function, we don't function anywhere near our potential. There are times when areas have to be broken apart. It helps us become more colored, more personalized. Because of this you shouldn't put all your attention into the now. Look at least a little towards the future and what you could be. There are a lot of possibilities out there. When light breaks it makes several different paths, and so to do our lives. We have to choose which one to follow. So make your choice carefully, and enjoy the beauty of the things to come.
