Having Heart
Love is above all, the gift of oneself.
~Jean
Anouilh
The human heart weighs between 7 and 15 ounces and is a little larger
than the size of your fist. But there is another type of heart that can
not be weighed or measured. In fact, its power is limitless. The human
heart that keeps our bodies alive is very small in comparison to the
human heart that keeps our souls and spirits alive; it is the vital
center and source of one’s being. The emotional human heart is where
one’s deepest and most sincere feelings and beliefs are kept.
We all have the ability to create miraculous things in our lives, and in
the lives of others, because we have the ability to love and live our
lives with heart. Regardless of your personal spiritual beliefs of
either a higher power, a spirit, an essence, or God, there is something
that we all have in common: that is love and the ability to show
love and compassion.
I can do no great things, only small
things with great love.
~ Mother Teresa
I
believe that love and compassion are necessary in order for us to obtain
true happiness and fulfillment; and that can only begin once we have
love and compassion for who we are and what we are capable. Only then
can we go out into the world and see it in others.
