I am not a fan of this statement, written by Ayn Rand in her profoundly philosophical book, "The Fountainhead". However, I cannot deny the fact that there are times when this quote seems to fully depict what's happening in our lives.
We have to be broken before we can become whole again. Things have to get worse before they can get better. We have to see through the darkest of nights so we can glimpse the most beautiful sunrise. We have to admit our weaknesses, and only by then can we realize our true strengths.
Stones have to be chiseled as a masterpiece is sculpted. Canvasses dirtied with paint and pieces of crumpled paper surround an artist's and a writer's best works.
And so it is with our lives.
This is not the easiest way to bec0me a better person. But as long as this helps me become who I aspire to be, I have no reason to complain.
