THE BROKEN PIECES

 


The Broken Pieces: Embracing Change and Finding Solace


Life is a battlefield. Every decision made today has the potential to significantly impact tomorrow. Often, we are blindsided by the consequences of a single, seemingly innocuous choice. Recently, I found myself in a position where one such decision turned my world upside down. Loneliness and heartache took residence in my life. I struggled to fathom the weight of moving on. The words, "we should go our separate ways," felt like a crushing blow.

In the aftermath of this emotional earthquake, I found myself at a crossroads. Will I succumb to desperation, or will I choose to build something meaningful out of my present circumstances? A desolate week passed, during which eating and drinking felt inconsequential. Loneliness loomed over me, or so I thought. What I failed to recognize was the divine peace that enveloped me—a silent, yet powerful assurance that I was not alone. It was then that I realized, amidst heartbreak, God's love for me far exceeded any human affection.

Yet, how did it come to this? Why did it end in tears? As people's statuses change, their attitudes often shift, and love can grow distant. I came to understand that change is an inevitable force of life. The ones who sometimes hurt us the most are individuals we trusted wholeheartedly, believing they would never inflict pain upon us due to our shared history.

It's a sobering truth that people change, and in the face of this evolution, we must learn to embrace change itself.

In the end, I found solace in recognizing that our tomorrows are not guaranteed. In this context, I endeavored to extract every possible opportunity from the present moment.

The reality is, we are not defined by our broken pieces. Instead, we are shaped by how we choose to mend those broken pieces and rebuild. As I move forward, I aim not merely to survive but to thrive in the midst of change and heartache. After all, life is an ever-evolving tapestry, and our ability to embrace transformation allows us to navigate its complexities with resilience and grace.

A REALITY CHECK

  A Reality Check: How a Challenge Changed My Life * I love it when people challenge me, not on a bad note, but on a good basis. One challenge that stands out in my mind is when my spiritual father told me he wanted my grades to change souls into the kingdom. Those words struck a chord in me, and I took it personal. At the time, I was in senior high school, and I didn't get the grades I wanted. But I knew that greater things awaited me ahead. When I got to university, I started engaging in serious academic studies with the mindset that my grades would change someone. And I'm here to tell you that it's very true that grades can change souls. I studied continuously, and one day, a friend came to me and said, "Chale, you study too much!" It was funny, but I realized that God was taking me somewhere. People started looking for me to do their quizzes, assignments, and teach them. I realized I could use that opportunity to win souls for God. So, after prayers, I wou...

THE WESTERN SIDE OF LIFE

  The western side of life can feel like hell on earth, and I can understand why many children cry when they realize they are born in Africa. It can be a challenging place to live and pursue your dreams. Selfishness seems to prevail, with people prioritizing their own interests without considering the well-being of those around them. The pursuit of money can lead to extreme actions, such as killing one's own brother for financial gain. While money is often considered the root of all evil, poverty is also a debilitating affliction. Sometimes, I wish my great grandparents had sacrificed themselves to slavery so that we could enjoy the benefits today, perhaps living in one of the European countries. However, despite our humble beginnings, we have the resilience to rise from the ashes and strive for a better future. We were born into poverty, but we are determined to create wealth and fulfill our dreams. By Mireku Emmanuel Asare
