How to Open Your Heart to Love

Find it difficult to open your heart? If happens when you cut off your feelings. It could be that you have been dealing with life mostly from your head. There is a certain disconnection about you that others can sense. Others may even call you cold. You believe it to be mostly true for you do not recall shedding a tear even while watching the most tragic scene in the Titanic movie.

“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.”
– Oscar Wilde

Very likely, your difficulty stems from past trauma. You have been hurt real bad previously. So your resourceful subconscious mind protects you with a shield around your heart. It is so thick that little love can penetrate through.

How to Create a Powerful Personal Life Vision

Creating a powerful personal life vision has many benefits. It offers you guidance in charting the way forward. It also drives the actions, decisions and behavior that you undertake. Where it is lived into, it basically sums up who you are, your life story and the meaning you have created.

Some people don’t bother with making a personal life vision. Well, not having one can leave you like a boat without a rudder; subject to the currents of life. You are more likely to paddle along (which makes your progress slow) or go around in circles. However, if you hope to lead a life that is more than mediocre and one that can potentially allow you to be happier, you will need to take charge.

“You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.” – Woodrow Wilson

101 Ways to Love Your Life

When you love your life, everything works. You become happy. There is a skip in your walk, a song in your heart, a shine in your aura, a joy in your being. Others are attracted to you. You find yourself supported by the universe. Success, invariably, becomes easy.

(See Tip #100 below)

Just imagine if the opposite is true.

Life appears bleak and that there is nothing to live for. And you believe that you are right in holding on to the pessimistic view: your life sucks. You have enough evidence to prove that life has little or no meaning. Everything has been a struggle so far.

Life Tip: My Wish For You

“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, love to complete your life.”
– Lynnie Buttercup

Dear friend,

I wish you nothing but the best of what life can offer. If life has been a struggle, a dread or a disappointment for you, then things are about to change. There is no need to fear.

I see you. I feel your despair, sorrow and pain. Just like you, I have my difficulties, doubts and problems. I have encountered situations when courage has failed me. I have felt my spirit sank.

And one fine day, I realized that I was not alone. The Universe started sending Earth Angels and Earth Mother, in response to my heartfelt wish. And so, through its special messengers, I have been enjoying comfort, smiles, rainbows, laughter, sunsets, hugs, beauty, friendships, faith, confidence, courage, patience and most of all, love.

Hence, it is not money that I wish most for you. But aspects of love that connects, transforms and heal. They may not be what you are expecting but will be just what you need. In case you miss the signs, take a look around. Be open to the many unexpected ways of how blessings may arrive for you. You are worthy in every way.

Just a note, my wishes often do come true 🙂 Watch your life change when you make the same wish for yourself and others too. In fact, the more you believe in wishes, the more resounding support you get from the Universe.

Abundance always,

Author. Adventurer. Life Coach. More About Me.
