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?

    I am a BIG believer in the idea that language, and it’s result, meaning, make SO much difference in and to our lives. I’ve said to people in the past: “What if you got to do that? Instead of having to do that?” Here is one of mentors making his case for this idea: People whose repeated…
