Re: cutting glass..." You have to be in command of the glass, telling it where to release its hold on itself. Just like life. Otherwise it will splinter.

About This Quote

Although cutting glass can seem a little intimidating, you only have to follow the directions that the glass gives you. In other words, you have to be in command. You have to tell the glass where to release its hold on itself. Otherwise, it will splinter.

We all have regions of our lives that are splintered and broken. We cling to these splintered areas and refuse to let go of them (or we keep trying to mend them), and we remain stuck in these splintered areas. But if we can become in command of these splintered areas, we can move forward and make progress in all other areas of our lives.
