Love, honesty and trust

Lessons learned over the course of my life for me thus far have been this...

Love no matter how many times it feels like circumstances are conspiring to drain the life out of love from your heart. Everyone is going to feel the backlash of being hurt but if you allow it to change who you are and how you love then that which injured your heart will have taken something from you. It is the foolish of us and not the fool to allow another person to rob you of a part of who you are. Love enough to say it and not wait for the grave to regret it. Even if it is not reciprocated if it is within you to express the sentiment it still possesses infinite possibility.

Honesty above and beyond all else save love is my credo. For me honesty is next to God if you are deceitful it is the foundation by which trust begins for me. Lies that fall from liars lips drink not of the same poison that they sip. A liar to me burns away anything i can ever feel for a person again. How do you put love and trust into someone who approaches life with an insincere heart.

Trust is something often hard to offer for people out of a sense of vulnerability, being burned, a multitude of scenarios. Then there is the ability above and beyond all else to trust in ones self, to believe in your own heart enough to say to hell with what people will think of you. Knowing enough about you to put your heart out there for the sake of not having missed opportunities. This one is a big one for me putting trust in my own heart enough to know that if I put me out there I can get burned, rejected, stared at in disbelief out some of the ore outrageous things I believe in enough to say them. The flip side of trust in ones self and just being unafraid that your words, your sincerest heart will be rejected is the fact that when you are sincere, honest and expressing something to another human being from your heart even if they are not sure where it is coming from I find that looking directly into someone's eyes they can suddenly just feel what you are trying to express.

So that is my ramble for the day. I refuse to live any moment of my life saying I should have done that or said that or felt that. God bless and much love going out into the universe.

XOXO!
