Kakushin: Face to Face with your change.

Today’s concept is pretty simple. But. It may be the hardest thing to deal with and face in your spiritual, mental, and physical life. 

 

Once you have gone through the five degrees of why, and look at what lies buried beneath those layers of superficial things, to correct the issue there has to be the decision to change. 

 

Change the behaviors, change the results. 

 

The concept is simple, but the entire process hurts. Each layer of a why digs deeper and deeper into a problem that we’ve taken such good care of to cover up and blame others, and now we have to deal with the repercussions of it.  Some things will have to break. 

 

It reminds me of kintsugi, where the end result is far more beautiful than the beginning, each scar telling a story, a story of the piece evolving into something stronger and more valuable because of the brokenness it had to go through to get to where it is today. 

 

If you have the courage to face whatever it is, and allow God to walk you through the process and be your strength, you will find meaning through behind it all, and how the scriptures say that “all things work together for your good” - Romans 8:28
