You’re Not Broken, You’re Becoming
If you’re anything like me, there have been moments when the weight of your journey felt like too much. The grind, the disappointments, the inner storms. And when that moment hits, it's easy to think, "What the hell is wrong with me?" I want to offer you a truth that changed my life: you're not broken. You're becoming.
Driven people tend to internalize their struggles. We carry the burden quietly, wearing the mask of control while battling storms inside. But what if those struggles aren't signs of weakness? What if they are signals that something deeper is shifting? That your True Self is pushing its way through the noise?
Becoming isn't clean. It's messy. It's shedding layers that protected you in one season but suffocate you in the next. It's confronting the false identities you took on to survive. It hurts. But that pain is not punishment. It's progress. It is the sacred discomfort of shedding what no longer serves you so that you can make room for something much truer.
We often look around and see the polished version of others. Social media. Success stories. Highlights. But rarely do we see the messy middle, the rawness of becoming. So when you’re in that space—when you feel like everything is falling apart—remember that something more real is being born. That’s the alchemy of transformation. And it is not meant to be easy. It is meant to be honest.
I’ve had to learn this the hard way. And I want you to hear it loud and clear: the fact that you're struggling doesn’t mean you're failing. It means you're transforming. Let it happen. Stay present. Do the work. Sit in the discomfort. Write about it. Talk to someone you trust. Go for a walk with it. Trust that what’s breaking apart is exactly what needs to.
Start listening to what’s emerging. Get curious. What is this challenge trying to teach you? What parts of you are ready to evolve? That is the gold. Not fixing, but becoming. Not controlling, but releasing.
You are not your wounds. You are not your setbacks. You are not the voice in your head that says you aren’t enough. You are the one who is becoming. You are unfolding. You are arriving. Let go. Shed. And shine.
