Speak to my Heart

I know who I am and what I am, every moment of every day. I am a catalyst for light and love and bring inspiration to those whose eyes I meet. I have the strength to stand tall in the face of conflict, and the courage to speak my voice, even when I’m scared.

Like a breath of fresh air, my countenance radiates virtue and love dwelling within. My smile distinguishes me, lights up the room, and changes the atmosphere. I am full of energy and excitement and I am not ashamed to display it. I can always count on myself to be a source of encouragement and inspiration.

A good heart is better than all the heads in the world. If I think with my head, my heart becomes an organ that pumps blood. But if I believe with my heart, it becomes the core of my human existence. 

My heart feels, emotes, and expresses. With my heart, I can perceive, understand, and judge. Often, my heart is accorded more importance than my brain. I believe in all that has never yet been spoken. I am free from what awaits within me, so that is what no one has dared to wish for.

May what I do flow from me like a river, No forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children. Then in these swelling and ebbing currents, these deepening tides moving out, returning, I will sing you as no one ever has, streaming through widening channels Into the open sea.

Slow me down today, and whisper a word or two – or more, in the quiet of my mind and heart. When I’m cursing myself or others, whisper words of blessing. When I’m judging another’s words and deeds, whisper words of patience. When my voice is still and silent, whisper words that I might speak.

Anchored on the promises that something better is in store for me daily. I live each day with the expectancy that something good is going to occur. I walk by faith and not by how my circumstances look like. I wake up looking for every day to be filled with meaning, purpose and joy. During times of hardship, I encourage myself through unshakable faith.

One of the hardest things in life is having words in my heart that I can’t utter. I would rather have eyes that cannot see, ears that cannot hear, and lips that cannot speak than a heart that cannot love. Love is the strongest of all passions, for it simultaneously attacks my head, heart and senses.

If I have the humility to follow my heart, and the passion to live my soul’s desires. I will seek to know the highest truth and dismiss the gravitational pull of my lower self. May I embrace and love the totality of myself, my darkness, and my light?

May I be brave enough to hear my heart, to let it soften so that I may gracefully choose faith over fear? Today is my day to surrender anything that stands between the sacredness of my humanity and my divinity.

Help me to help others so that their lives may be made easier and happier. Strengthen my confidence in my fellow men despite what they may do or say.

Give me strength to live according to the Golden Rule, enthusiasm to inspire those around me, sympathy to help lighten the burdens of those who suffer, and a spirit of joy and gladness to share with others.
