Won’t work. You don’t build anything from the top “down”. Picture if you will, a house being built. If you tried to start with the roof, what would hold it up? Where’s the strong foundation to support it?
One brick at a time, brick by brick – sounds like the lyrics to a country western song, although that certainly dates me as now they just refer to it as “country”!
When people tell you that after your divorce you just try to take it one day at a tie, putting one foot in front of the other. You’re rebuilding your life, whether you are divorced or widowed, it’s the same. What you had – is gone. Poof!
The life you had, even if you felt you had worked your way up to the “top”, is non existent. You cannot rebuild it from the top down. You’re going to have to start over whether you want to or not. Finances may not be the same, certainly family and friends are not going to be the same. Your purpose in life has suddenly altered and you are starting over. You’re foundation has shifted as it does in an earthquake – a good synonym for life after divorce, an earthquake hit you and everything has crumbled and fallen down.
So you get yourself up, dust yourself off and as Frank Sinatra once said, “Get back in the race”.
One brick at a time . . . brick by brick . . . one foot in front of the other . . . one day at a time.
