FRIDAY THOUGHTS #80: HUNGER

 

Hunger.

I had my weekly meetup this Friday evening and afterwards my brother and I were discussing how the first week of this new year was for him. He explained how he was mentally, spiritually and physically working on himself more than he's ever had in his life. He was ecstatic and rightfully proud of the new habits he's been molding into his schedule. Hearing him speak...I heard an energy from his voice that I've never heard before. It was definitely different, the tone, delivery, etc. What I heard is: hunger.

My brethren is hungry.  He went through an emotionally challenging breakup last year, I'm thankful myself and the rest of the family was there to share our love with him during that time. We all need that, we all need someone in our corner when we get weary...I'm glad we can provide that for each other. Anyways, he went through this terrible breakup but what he did was that he allowed it to break him into something beautiful. He didn't allow the pain to kill him...but he allowed the pain to kill the part of him that needed to die and became a much stronger individual in the process. He went through the rebirth process, he took full advantage of his pain and used it for something good - I couldn't be more proud of my brother.

We had a great conversation. It's great to see his fire, hunger and desire for continued growth. Once you experience the bounce back growth from a painful situation, life will never be the same and there is no turning back. Pain is simply getting your attention to teach you something you need to understand to continue your transformation back into the person you've always been...and once you realize that fully, everything changes.

The pain turns into hunger. Then nothing is ever the same. I see you champion. #keepgoing
