(This is another in an emerging series of commentaries about quotes I've found useful in my therapy practice as well as in my own life.)
"Sometimes a breakdown may actually be a breakthrough".
--Anonymous
This quote recognizes that there comes a time when something must fall apart before something healthier can arise in its place. Too often, when people don't fall apart they just keep on kind of wobbling forward, making more noise than progress in their life's journey. It's when the old way crumbles that a new and fundamentally healthier direction forward often presents itself. As the poet Rumi wisely held, "Many demolitions are actually renovations." It's often good to hold on, but at times it's better to just let go. Just remember during these important juncture points in your life to find someone you can trust to help guide you.
