Step 2 OPENING HEART

Many of us live in constant fear of loosing control, and feel comforted by knowing what to expect. This is why we want things to stay the same, because if things begin to shift, we feel our loss of control. We are afraid of not knowing what to expect if something in our life changes. Control has kept us from hearing our heart. Our heart has been telling us the truth all along. We have closed ourselves off from our hearts, so we don’t have to hear our truth. 

Feeling the need to control keeps us from knowing ourselves. Nothing outside of ourselves can define who we are. Opening our heart to the idea that love can begin with ourselves is a way to begin to let go of what we never had control of in the first place. We’ve been perceiving things backwards. We thought that if we fixed the outside the inside would get better, but we need to begin with ourselves to find our way back to our heart. We don’t need to look far to find a connection to something greater. This beauty can come from within.
