Your heart is so brave.
It reaches across the universe and sends its healing love to those in need.
If your heart had arms,
It would wrap itself around every single child or animal that has been harmed.
It would open the closed hearts of the sad and mend the damaged hearts of the fallen.
It would soften the hard hearts of those who have lost their soul and fix the broken hearts of all those you love.
But that is a lot of arms and a lot of pieces of your heart.
And your heart needs to be filled with the same love you share so willingly.
Yes,
You are built to love and nurture,
But you are also built to thrive and flourish.
Do not let your heart wander into unknown worlds where it can become lost and diminished.
Cherish your heart,
For it is the vehicle through which you can replenish and refuel.
Use its power wisely.
You can't give what you haven't got.
It's common to feel helpless when bad things are happening.
And yes,
Your heart will hurt at the injustices in the world.
For we are all connected in the web of life,
And when there's a break in the web,
The pain of those affected ripple out into the universe,
Touching the tender hearts and souls of the ones who care.
The ones like you who want nothing but to shine their light,
Lift the vibration and bring comfort to those in need.
You may not be able to solve the world's problems,
But do not underestimate the small acts that can make a big difference and create a butterfly effect.
If you find yourself drawn to storms,
You cannot calm.
All you will do is drain your peace.
Be your own beacon and you will naturally shine out to others closer to you who need your warmth and radiance.
Feed your own soul and keep your vibration high and let your compassionate healing energy spread naturally.
Do not get caught up in worries,
Anger and fear.
Come back to your center and tap into the vibrancy that is uniquely yours.
Don't let the sadness take over.
Stand strong and keep reaching for the light.
Shake off the burden that you have been carrying on your shoulders.
Expressing your feelings is fine.
Just don't let them overshadow your brilliance.
Balance what you can control and what you cannot control.
The best way to take care of others is to take care of yourself first.
When you feel lost,
Be in nature and come back to your roots.
Find nourishment by being around people who celebrate and care for you.
Live gently and gracefully and be kind to your loving heart.
Let happiness in and keep hope high and love higher.
Let your heart be your compass.
It knows the way.
Practice letting go of the need to fix everything so you can find your peace.
And when you feel a little bit helpless,
Remember the words of Desmond Tutu.
Do your little bit of good where you are.
It's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.
Sending you love and peace.
