Have you ever reached a point where one more disappointment, one more difficult conversation, or one more hurtful moment felt like it might finally break your heart?

Not because of that single moment.

But because it wasn’t just one moment.

It was hundreds of tiny moments stacked on top of one another.

One criticism.

One betrayal.

One unmet expectation.

One circumstance you kept hoping would change.

Until one day you realize your heart feels heavier than it used to.

You know… when people or circumstances surround your heart, it can feel like they’re standing there with a chisel in one hand and a hammer in the other, chipping away, chipping away, chipping away.

And eventually, the heart begins to crack.

But I’ve learned we don’t have to wait until our hearts are broken to do something about it.

We have more power than we realize.

We have more choice than we think.
