The journey of life is full of many rollercoasters. However, it’s not about what happened to us on this journey, but how well we deal with it. You either win or learn from the occurrences on the way.
Tough situations, they say, do not last, only tough people do. The sky should never be the limit, but summon courage from that state of brokenness to pave your own way to a new horizon.
When we face life’s struggles and strife, we become stronger. We are not broken, beaten, and battered because of the adversity we have faced; we have strength and depth due to it.
Broken but not destroyed quotes were put together to inspire you to continue being brave and stand up for yourself irrespective of what life throws at you.
How to Be Broken and Still Be Courageous
You can be broken and still be courageous. You can take risks and fail. You can also experience loss, heartbreak, pain and loss of hope and still be courageous.
Being broken and being courageous are not mutually exclusive. Courage isn’t about the absence of fear; it’s about facing your fears anyway — despite the fact that you are afraid.
Courage is about taking action in the midst of uncertainty as well as doing the thing that scares you most, even if your hands are shaking as you do it. Courage is about showing up in your life, even when you don’t want to or when the thought of doing so makes you want to hide, run away, or give up.
Here are some helpful tips on how to be broken but remain courageous.
1. Know that brokenness doesn’t necessarily equate to worthlessness. Rather, it can often be the beginning of a process of awakening and realignment.
2. Accepting that you’re broken automatically sets you on the path of getting back on your feet and putting yourself back together again. You see, no matter how broken you are, as long as you’re not destroyed, there is always hope
3. If you don’t allow yourself to feel broken sometimes, you won’t find the courage to become whole again. So, enjoy that state of brokenness and press on to coming out of it.

6. Sometimes, you must break yourself open so you can see your own divinity, and then be brave enough to share it with the world, even when you have every reason not to.

8. It’s okay to feel fear but face it, for courage is not the absence of fear. Rather, it’s the judgment that something else is more important than fear.
9. The process of healing or rebuilding requires courage and takes time, but the end result can be amazing. The things that have been broken in our lives can become beautiful and full of meaning if we take the time to repair them.
10. Lastly, Sometimes being broken is the only way for us to learn how to put back together the pieces of our lives so we can live them more fully than before.
Sometimes in life, you’re going to break. Sometimes you’re going to rebuild. Nevertheless, be brave enough to start again, stronger than ever.
