A BROKEN HEART IS AN INJURY.

A butterfly doesn’t begin as a butterfly.

It has to struggle to get out of the cocoon.

We can’t cut the butterfly out of the cocoon to make the process easier. It has to develop the necessary muscles it needs to fly.

Its beauty comes from its struggle.

Heartbreak, like any other obstacle, is essential for your growth.

For this special Five Minute Friday, we hear a solo message from an amazing friend and artist: Humble the Poet.

Kanwer Singh aka Humble The Poet is a Toronto-bred MC/Spoken word artist. With tattoos, a beard, a head wrap, and a silly smile, Humble commands attention. He stimulates audiences with ideas that challenge conventional wisdom and go against the grain.

Most things are not in our control, and we have to move on from them.

The pain that you feel will soon be gone. Time will help you adapt and go forward.
