Daniel Nielsen - On being human

"We are all broken to some degree. That's the price of being human. At some point in our life we will face extreme pressure and feel fear, anxiety, loneliness, distress, or so many other painful or negative emotions. We are fragile earthen jars. We break. But when we do, it can also be our finest moment. That’s because we can be put back together again the way we were meant to be. The most beautiful people have, at some point in their lives, experienced brokenness. But they haven’t remained in that state. They have learned to let go of the inner struggle and the things they have no control over, and turned to a higher power. It’s in a state of soul surrender, letting-go and letting-God, that the light comes streaming through the cracks and inner healing takes place." ~Daniel Nielsen
