Step 4 HEARTBREAKS

At one point we knew our worth. We knew that we were someone. We knew that we mattered. For many, this was when we were kids. Early on, life still feels magical, possibilities still feel endless. Our hearts are full...of wonder, trust, and curiosity. We still feel free. We feel a love for dreams. Discovering that the world is not what we dreamed, happens when we experience our worst disappointments. 

Dreams come straight from our heart. They are the suggestions we are supposed to follow in order to find fulfillment. Each time family, friends, teachers, money, our appearances, natural abilities and other experiences prevent us from acting on our dreams, our heart breaks. Negative influences are like toxins that build up a wall between our mind, and our heart. Every time someone or something hurts us, we let go of our heart, and start holding on to the pain, the same pain that enabled our needs, and our fears. 

With this step we are writing down our every heartbreak. This is the path we took to end up where we are today, and bringing it to the surface will begin to redirect our energy. This action, as difficult as it is, is confirmation to our heart, that we are fighting for ourselves to feel good. Taking a stand now will prove to ourselves that we care about our self... that we matter, our feelings matter, our heart matters. Not because anything outside of our self says it does or doesn’t, but because we say so. When we find our inner balance using the center of our heart, no outer experience can make us waver or fall into a negative, chaotic place.
