"The heart does not lie." - Vittorio Alfieri
Our true self is revealed by the actions of our heart.
No more true does this happen then when we have difficult times in our life.
In Sanskrit, the “heart” is referred to as Hridayam which means, “Here is the Center”. Hridayam or the Heart in this definition is thought of as the center of our existence. In ancient Eastern texts and scriptures, the heart is talked about in the context of physical health, mental health, spiritual health and vitality.
It is rare if ever we ask, “What is in your brain?”.
It is possible we might ask, “What is on your mind?”
Neither of these statements have the warmth of asking “What is in your heart?”
If we ask someone, “what is in your heart,” we are looking for true and direct communication with the other person. You might call this having a "heart to heart talk.” Which means having an open, truthful and mutually respectful conversation.
It is said the term heart literally means truth.
When we want to know the truth, we go to the heart of the matter. When I say to someone, “I want to speak my heart”, it means I want to speak my truth. I want to give my true feelings.
Jill Sweetman, Counselor and Life Coach, has said "Tough times expose our true heart." This is true and the nature of our heart is less surprising if we examine our own heart. It means looking inside and understanding what and who we are.
One's true heart will reveal itself eventually.
More times than not it does so during times when we are having difficulty. If your true heart is weak and hard, there is work to do in order to strengthen it. We prepare ourselves by understanding who we are. And it is our heart which reveals the true person inside of us.
Stay inspired my friends!
