Opening up your heart for love
Why is it that some people spend so much time guarding their heart they never let anyone in. They are so afraid of being hurt that their defenses are up full force and they can’t even see the word possibility.
It is human nature to want to be loved. That is truly all we ever want in life, to love and be loved. Why is it that what we want the most is perhaps the most difficult thing to attain? Is it because we place so much pressure on finding the “perfect” love that we can’t find any love worthwhile?
No one is perfect. Love isn’t perfect, but loving with all your heart for all the right reasons is the closest you can ever hope for and if you are lucky enough to receive that same love in return you are truly blessed. Appreciate and validate that relationship every day. It’s worth it!
Now, it is also human nature to avoid being hurt and that is where the defense mechanism comes in. People put up barriers, boundaries and even sabotage relationships before they can ever have a chance to grow. Why? People are afraid of being hurt. Get over it! Hurt is a basic human emotion. Without being hurt, you could never truly appreciate love. That’s what it’s all about. With any luck and a solid partner or companion that cares for your well being will love more than they will ever hurt you and when they hurt you it will be minor and mundane in comparison to the love that you share.
You see, people will say things you don’t want to hear. They will do things you wished they hadn’t. If they love you, and truly they love you more than you ever imagined, hold tight. Don’t let them go. Love is special. It is something to treasure and be cherished. It is not something to take lightly or fend off. Yes, it may hurt if you ever feel crossed, or abandoned by that person, but true love will never do that. True love will remain forever and although true love is not promised to anyone, only someone willing to receive love and appreciate it in it’s entirety will ever have the chance at achieving it.
Don’t close the doors to the possibility to finding love. It may feel like it is a world away, but opening your heart and mind to it will bring you closer to finding it than you ever imagined. Chances are, it’s already there in front of you, you just have to open your eyes and your heart to receive it.
