If there’s one thing I’m learning more and more on this journey, it’s not apologizing for how I feel.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not as though I’m walking around saying, “hey, guy, maybe buy some pants that cover your ankles. It’s not as cool as you think and will probably be out of style in like, 4 months, anyway. And, your socks are obnoxious, by the way” Or, asking the less-than-adept patrons at the Superstore why they like wasting 4 weeks of my life not being able to use the extremely on-screen guided self-checkout lanes. “This machine does not accept cash. Would you like to proceed with your order?” – “Yes”. Then, when it comes to pay, they’re blowing up the attendant because all they have is paper money. It’s not even like I needed these bananas all that bad, anyway.

I digress.

When I speak about “how I feel”, I mean, who I really am when it comes to my Heart.

When I’m coming from my Heart, I’m telling someone how much they mean to me. Or, it’s trying to, with kindness and understanding, derail a person’s rant or anger not worrying that they might think I’m not supporting them. I’m supporting them. I’m just not supporting their anger because it doesn’t get anyone anywhere. Or, it’s speaking up (not always. At the least, not joining in) in defense of whoever isn’t there, that’s getting torn to ribbons by everyone else. Or, it’s stuff like writing, “Love is always working overtime” on the white board in my office not giving a shit who sees it.

When you’re coming from your Heart, there’s nothing to be sorry for or embarrassed about. Granted, sometimes I think I’m being a bit of a wuss or overly dramatic with certain things I share, but if that’s the case, so be it. Truthfully, there’s more than enough things I’m not okay with about myself, that if I’m not okay with who my Heart wants me to be, which is to be my true self, then I might as well board the Titantic.

The great thing about living from your Heart is that it doesn’t know what fear is. Maybe it seems like it does, but that’s not your Heart talking. That’s the rest of you. It’s your over-thinking brain and your predisposed nature to expect the worst and your loud-mouthed ego that doesn’t want you to be a beautiful messenger of Love. It’s everything other than your Heart trying to sabotage you. There’s nothing wrong with using with your head, but don’t substitute for it for what you feel in your Heart.

Being who you really are, Love, will be supported by the universe. If we want it to, if we’re open to the idea; the universe will have your back. It’s not going to give you anything you don’t need right then. And, there’s never anything to be scared of. Ever.

If there’s one thing I’m learning more and more on this journey, it’s not apologizing for who I am.

I’m glad Love is patient. It knows exactly who I’m supposed to be, I’m just trying to catch up.

be Love.
