Journey Thru Pain to Purpose

Not the End: Journey Through Pain to Purpose is a soul-stirring collection of poems for anyone who has fallen hard, felt forgotten, or wondered if the pit was permanent. With raw honesty and fierce hope, Armando Rodríguez offers poetic reminders that failure is not fatal and struggle is not a life sentence—it’s often the setup for your greatest return.
Each poem is paired with a powerful quote and speaks into moments of brokenness, disappointment, and doubt. But this isn’t a book about staying down. It’s about getting back up—with bruises, with wisdom, and with purpose more alive than before. These are verses for comeback souls, for quiet warriors, for those still standing after the storm.
This isn’t your ending. It’s your becoming.
