This Weeks Food For Thought – The Barriers we Erect

So many of us are so
good at putting barriers up and around us…….

We often do this when life’s struggles have been over
bearing….difficult
or we have been hurt in love and many other
ways…….
Once we have erected these barriers it is very hard
to take them down…,…
and learning to trust, and love and feel
again……..
If we ever do start to feel again we become afraid
and close down further………we run from what we really want…..

We are uncomfortable if we are taken from our comfort
zone of none feeling, into one where we may feel again or into a world we would
like to know about but daren’t venture into incase it seeps through our
impenetrable barrier

We close our hearts to stop any more pain
entering….,,

but what we are actually doing is closing our hearts
to love……. to our self…….  and to life.
And our ego takes over………

When you block your heart to others, you actually
block yourself…… !

So if you don’t love yourself how can you love
others…………?

When you don’t let others in…….
then you are also not letting ‘you’ out………..
You may think you are, but in reality you are
not………

Love and life need to flow evenly, it has to flow
in…… to be able to flow out……..
like a flowing river…….

To not have an open heart and to let love in…….
means we cannot give out…..
as we cannot give what we don’t have…………

If we block our self and close our heart how do we
ever expect to find love……….
and be in-love with our self and life and all others
around us……
and be the loving souls we are meant to be……….

Taking the barriers down requires courage…but the
rewards are bountiful and life will be healthier and happier..
