The Rebel Heart

To live fully and authentically, we must embrace vulnerability, heal the emotional wounds and external noise that distort our hearts, and reconnect with the innate power and love within us, remembering that every moment offers the opportunity for transformation.

Refuse to settle. A timid heart makes for tepid love. It will not benefit you, your children, or the world in general (and it is a heartbreaking thing to observe). Go for greatness. Give yourself permission to be awesome.

There is strength in vulnerability. The seeds of trust live there.

We must begin the process from within. A heart that is open and charged can attract and hold immense love and miracles. Reaching beyond socialization and stigma, past hurts and perceptions, and what passes for love on TV and in movies requires bravery and self-respect.

There are countless harmful ideas that corrupt and distort the peace and innocence of the heart. The noise is influenced by broken relationships we witness, experience, or are raised in. The noise is influenced by spiritual suppression and cultural quirks. The noise is born of shame, embarrassment, and guilt.

However, it is all just noise — a collection of borrowed stories, artifice, and artifacts. We must be selective about which frequencies we allow into the sacred space of our hearts. We must also become aware of and heal the toxins that may exist in our fragmented and misleading memories. Our bodies are constantly renewing themselves, and health and vitality are the natural default, so why wouldn’t our hearts be included in that process? While it may exist in its own ethereal or energetic domain, the heart is the source of all good things — a permanent bi-directional channel to our primary source. We can and must soften and let go of our emotional callousness.

Every moment presents an opportunity to effect change, even if only on a small scale.

Honor what is in your heart, rekindle the hearth, and stoke the eternal flame. Invite the dance of fire and passion back into your life and reconnect with the infinite and divine. You have it. You are it. Remember.
