Being Open

ByMatthew

The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience. – Emily Dickinson

Is your soul open?

Are you ready for miracles in your life?

In a way, our lives themselves are miracles. The human body functioning, minute after minute, hour after hour, day after day is a miracle. So much has to go right for us to live.

So, if our human lives are miracles, how can we ensure that we’re open to other amazing experiences?

How can we think, act and feel in ways that allow our dreams and authentic goals to be possible?

Wouldn’t taking the first step towards what you truly want, even though you’ve been afraid to for a long time, be “miraculous?”

How could you be open to that?

As I learned from a mentor, our lives are…

  • Are You Floating, or Improving?

    ByMatthew

    However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results. – Winston Churchill We often think we have the right strategy, usually because it isn’t creating something painful or terrible, but don’t regularly examine our results. It’s a form of floating through life that’s really just avoiding pain. Sure, we make some plans and…
