Sometimes, life will ask you to have the courage to open your heart more than you’ve been comfortable with in the past. Sometimes, you’ll need to be brave in expressing how you feel. Sometimes, you’ll need to keep your heart open, no matter how frightened you might feel. Sometimes, your feelings will sneak up on you.

 

Even with all the personal development work I’ve done on myself, it’s hard for me to keep my heart open. I’m afraid of getting hurt. I’m afraid of hurting others. I’m afraid of being vulnerable and I’m afraid of feeling unloved. (It’s not lost on me that these are some of the very feelings that Soul Whispers calls me to express).

 

But, one thing I’ve learned is that no matter how afraid you feel, it’s always the best idea to keep your heart open – this is where opportunities and growth reside and where your soul really shines.

 

With that, here’s to another lap around the sun with my heart open to leading the way.
