LOVE: IT OPENS MY HEART

Each time I read a great book or to go a great film or listen to a symphony, it opens my heart and puts me in touch with someone else's journey that we all share. When you share your pwn personal story, like i do here,, you find it isn't just your story; it is so many other stories.As i open to my soul , I have become much more compassionate in my relationships with other people and more loving and accepting to myself. Most people lead a life of unconscious despair. They wounded in their own way as people who grow up in dysfuntional family, but they don't know it. If i can't not enjoy every day, there is no reason to believe I'll be better able to enjoy it in the future. The impulse to focus on the future can be quite strong. Yet, I realized that the key to happiness lay in enjoying the process, not just the final result--because the greater part of life was going to be spent at the level of process and not at the stage of contemplating the finished product.

The soul really has to do with sense of the heart being touched by feelings. Many people believe that if they reach a certain point in their lives and they didn't get where they were supposed to get....they look in the mirror and realize..."My God, I'm not going to achieve those things and then the thought comes up...

-its all over for me
-I wasted my life

In such moments, you might not realize that that's just a thought. That collapse can spiral you into depression, overwhelming you with feeling of hopelessness or helplessness.
