Chapters
You've built so many things in your life. You've built big things, a big family, a big company. You've built so many large things in your life. You're a creator, you're an innovator, you're a visionary. That's why you've been so successful in work. But here's the one problem is now that you've, you've invented all that and you've created all that, and now that all that is, you're starting to transition out of it. You're entering a stage where you're realizing that you gotta create something new. It's time for you to reinvent yourself and reinvent your marriage, reinvent the way that you do relationships. It's time, brother, to build something new. It's time to build something new. God wants you to build something new in your life. That's why what you have left behind, it's, it's empty and it's hollow. It doesn't do what it used to do for yourself, for your self-esteem. It doesn't do what it used to do for your sense of worth. And you're realizing that you sacrificed your marriage for a dollar, and you sacrificed your marriage for all the success in your life, and you lost the relationships in the process. But that's okay, because like I said, you're a builder, you're an innovator, you're a creator, you inspire people, you build up amazing things, and it's time, brother, to create and build something new. It's time to build a new emotional connection with your wife. It's time to build a new relationship with your children. It's time to build the self-love that you are lacking. It is time to build the communication skills, the conflict resolution. It's time to build a better relationship with God. Brother, it's time to build. But in the process of building something new, the old thing needs to be destroyed. It needs to be taken down. It needs to be demolished. It needs to be Wipe that out. And as you're watching that old thing fall apart, it's falling apart between your fingertips, and you're like, man, everything's falling apart. But brother, it's not a breakdown, it's a breakthrough. Because what you're experiencing as a breakdown is a disintegration of your ego, the facade. Your facade is melting away. And as your facade crumbles and as your ego crumbles, there's the authentic you. And what are you left with? The insecurity and the fear of, can I do it again? Can I build something big again? But this time you're building it internally. And the Spirit of God is in you. It's time to build. Don't be so attached to what is falling apart. Be moved by the new thing that you need to create.
