Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23
We are wired to love. Women. We are nurturing, emotional beings. Our greatest attribute and biggest downfall. It can be so easy to let our guards down to those undeserving as we become so emotionally attached to meaningless relationships and situations. Everything flows from our hearts...literally, everything. Our hearts are the very core of our being; it is how we connect with others; the source of our emotions, passions, desires, etc. It becomes difficult to be discerning when our emotions are involved, but we have to start taking better care of our hearts. I came up with three things to keep in mind on this journey.
Value Yourself: You must value your body, heart, and mind. But not only that, value your TIME and ENERGY. Life is just too short to be wasted. If it's not there, it's just not there. Let it go. There was a point where I was putting so much of my energy into making something work that I disregarded my own value. It became exhausting and I became comfortable with it. Know your worth. Do not let the fear of being uncomfortable keep you in a state of insanity.
Be Victorious: It is a great relief to be able to hold happiness and peace in your heart during the worst situations. Love yourself, first and foremost. Stay positive and surround yourself with positive people. Know that in due time God will give you the desires of your hear. Blessed are the pure in the heart, for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8
Be Vulnerable : To love is to be vulnerable. We have to expose ourselves and face uncertainty in order to love and to be loved. We cannot forfeit our capacity to love by living in constant fear of getting hurt or rejected. So we cannot put up a brick wall guarding ourselves to the point that no one can get in. Trust is a result of vulnerability that grows over time as we engage and connect with others. So share your stories with those who have earned the right to hear them and have also reciprocated sharing. It is an amazing feeling to finally be able to lower your guard.
I believe that God has put me in a place where I have no choice but to have faith and trust His plan for my life, and surrender it all to Him. Patience is key as I seek to find genuine connections and honest energy within all areas of my life. Those that are worthy will be privy to the depths of my heart.
