But, too many times in the guarding process, we are really bandaging our hearts instead of allowing the Master Physician to perform open heart surgery. The guarding process turns into building a bullet proof encasement where we set our hearts. This stalls the healing process and one walks through life in a state of numbness...believing it's better not to feel.
Many don't realize that what we conceal can NEVER be healed! The encasement becomes too small to hide our wounds on a continuous basis. One responds to things in their immediate environment based on the tragedy of the past. It is imperative for one to NOT allow the past to defined by their present...To put it bluntly one must not be defined by their DNA...
Really? Yes really!!! Life becomes our most profound teacher, when we recognize that sometimes it is those who say they Love Us, who damage us the most.
Learning to accept people for who and what they are, we begin to limit our expectations. We cannot expect something from a person without knowing if he/she is capable of giving at that level. Lessons learned: When people show you who they are, BELIEVE THEM!!!
One must learn to allow people to be who they are without any expectations. Each of us can ONLY love on the level, in which we are exposed. Meaning, for most, if love or anything in life was taught, learned, or received in limitation, then usually one can only relieve in limitation. But, truly believing one can expand their capabilities by exposure. For instance, life cannot take a person anywhere they are unwilling to allow new experiences.
Pulling off the bandages of shame, hurt, dis-ease, fakeness, and whatever else hinders from knowing the reflection staring back at one through this mirror of life.
