Why Rebuild? Something’s current state is weak, faulty, fragile, broken and in need of restoration to re-establish a firm and strong foundation.
After Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in 2006, it left devastation in its wake. To deal with the destructive damage left from the storm, entire cities, towns, and communities had to rebuild. They had no other options if they were going flourish and thrive again.
Have you ever experienced such a shattering season in your own personal life? A time where death, divorce, financial loss, failure, or disaster changed your world to such an extent that you weren’t sure how you could ever rebuild again?
Being determined to clear the debris from the aftermath is a courageous and necessary first step. It strengthens your resolve, and enables you to build exactly what you need, fulfilling your greatest hope and desire. Where can you begin?
Which of These Do You Hope to Rebuild?
- Life—after it has fallen apart.
- Confidence—when you have failed.
- Team spirit—when a toxic manager leaves.
- Self-reliance—when you have been dependent.
- Reputation—after poor choices and indiscretion.
- Stamina—be persistent and go the extra mile.
- Self-esteem—that has been trampled, used, and abused.
- Financial security—after unemployment, credit debt, or bankruptcy.
- Relationships—that need to heal from neglect, misunderstanding, or heartbreak.
Rebuilding takes tremendous effort and energy. What you rebuild has to be something in which you are invested to begin with or it will not be a worthwhile endeavor.
