Living life with an open heart means exposing inside out of who we are - our strengths, our weaknesses, our vulnerabilities, our souls, our stories, our histories, ...
Living life with an open heart means being open to new experience, being fearless to charter into unexplored terrritories, being brave enough to take risks and sometimes even to take a leap of fate.
We know not what awaits us at the other end - sometimes we lands on a soft pillowy cushion, other times we crashed into cold hard concrete - garnering a few bruises, broken bones, and even scars.
Lately, I have been trying on different shades of glasses - in vain attempts to find one that gives me a clearer and brighter vision on life. One of the new approach is to try to live my life with an open heart (as foolish as it may be). There were moments where the sun shone brightly and enveloped me in its warmth. Those were times when friends and family share their moments of joy and happiness with me - I am thankful to them for their generousity. But there were many a times when I had fallen into the thorny rosebushes- getting too close to smell the sweet-smelling roses and admiring the pretty bloom. The pricks of the thorns were painful and I am still removing every little thorn that pierced me deeply from my many falls into the treacherous rosebush. Why do I still play around rosebushes?
