Your Heart - Your Future
3 minute read
Ever wondered why our life takes the course that it does?
There are many factors that shape us. We have childhood years, a multitude of interactions with people, good, bad and sometimes downright evil things leaving a lasting impression upon us and then, there is as well… our own inward response to these things .
In this world, it is important to understand that it’s not actually what happens to us that shapes our lives, but what goes down on the inside of us, into our heart, through these experiences, that overflows into thoughts, words and actions, that direct the course of life.
Fortunately, we can be in control of our lives by being aware of what is in our heart.
Our feelings will tell us. They are the indicators of the condition of the heart and if we listen to them we will know what we are really dealing with.
Ownership of what is residing in my heart, gives me the power to take control of the choices and actions that will steer the course of my life.
Power comes to the owner, not to the non- owner.
I own everything inside me, regardless of how it came to be that way, is a strong statement, but one that liberates from a position of lifelong victimhood and other disempowering beliefs.
For example:
If I find resentment in my heart that has come into my life because of an injustice from another, this creates an emotional wound. It has lodged in my heart, even though I am not the source of the injustice. Only I can shift it out, by taking ownership and action so that it does not infect the whole of my life.
These things are removed through acknowledgement, forgiveness and healthy boundaries that define and protect my heart…
…the source of everything I do.
