When I write from the mind, I write about my fears, weaknesses, and pain.
I write vulnerably. We all know vulnerability is powerful because it helps people relate, human to human.
But when I write from the heart, I drop into my soul to a place where I feel buoyant, joyful, and completely whole. I write with so much love for life and the world.
The soul knows no fear, no limitation. The soul sees both the darkness and the light as part of the whole. It doesn’t judge. It is not a victim.
But writing like this is still vulnerable.
I feel most vulnerable when I write from the heart and share my essence with the world.
My optimistic view of life may come across cheesy, naive, insensitive… but it comes from my heart. This type of sharing scares me more than talking about hardship.
Yes, we all have fears, weaknesses, and pain. But they do not define us. We are much more than this one body, this one lifetime.
I remember this when I drop into my heart. There, I feel ecstatic about life.
I feel love overflow in my heart, to the point where I can’t help but want to share it with the world.
When I’m in this space, I do not want to dim my light. I don’t want to write only about the pain, because through awareness, I can transmute the pain with love.
We can always reach a higher perspective that transforms the worst of pains into understanding.
That’s why so often, I don’t speak to your pain. I speak to your wholeness. I speak from my soul to yours, knowing that we are all the same.
I speak to your soul, because deep inside, you already know the truth of who you are.
You are a beautiful, eternal, limitless being.
