Breakdowns are necessary for our growth. What will you learn if everything is going smoothly in your life? How will you grow? Are you the in the middle of a breakdown right now? Is your marriage suffering? Your relationship with your children? How are your career and business going?
Often we feel victimized by a breakdown. If your breakdown is because of a failed marriage, you may feel like a victim. If you are fired from your job, you may feel like a victim of an unreasonable company or wrongfully treated by your boss. Nothing good comes from the mindset of a victim. Victimhood will keep you stuck, keep you in pain, and can be paralyzing.
What if you approached having a breakdown as a good thing? Every breakdown you've had in the past, was difficult I have no doubt it was. But what did it look like 6 months afterward? Or even a year later? We have to have breakdowns in life to set us up for a breakthrough. Breakdowns prepare us for a breakthrough, and setbacks are setups!
