Have An Open Heart

The magic of LIFE begins with an open Heart. Where do you see yourself being able to have more compassion? How do you allow yourself the blessings of forgiveness to be present in your life every day. What can you do to serve a higher purpose in life? These are all great questions as you continue to take a look within yourself and see the divine essence of who you really are. To Have An Open Heart is always the first place we must begin our journey from. Can you allow yourself the opportunity of expressing your true self in all you do? Do you hold back your feelings because of some imaginary thought that causes you to forget your authentic self? LIFE is meant to be lived from a place of acceptance and awareness. Today make sure you practice these qualities as you give yourself permission to Have An Open Heart for all to see.

Deep within our being is a place so pure that no thing can ever disturb the tranquility and peace that is always present. In this very moment you have the capacity to connect with that place and begin anew and see yourself for all the magnificence that you are. You are the life force that energetically shapes and decides how you want to choose to show up in the world. Whenever their is a disturbance of your heart their is a feeling tone of disease that accompanies the disturbance. Your heart is the center of your being and we sometimes tend to protect it from the pain and fear of being hurt. Rather than live life this way Have An Open Heart for all to see and live with a love for all. This will insure you that your heart will always be ready to receive the love that pours forth to you as well as giving the love you are born with to share. The key to your LIFE starts in your heart be brave and bold and live authentically and give your heart in all you do.

"To Have an Open Heart is to Honor Everyone Authentically as you recognizes the truth about their beauty and beingness"

I see light in all the eyes I look into
I know that I AM blessed
I open my heart to give and receive love
I AM a magnet for joy
I accept my authenticity
I AM a divine expression of Spirits Creation
I AM what my heart calls me to be

It's your day....MAKE IT A GREAT ONE!

Seven Critical People Rules to Live By

1. Listen without judging.
Encourage open and honest feedback between yourself and all of your people. Determine what they want to get out of the job: What are their goals? What do they need? What obstacles are they facing? Approach each topic or concern by really listening with your heart and without judgment. You must encourage your people to share their needs, dreams, and obstacles with you. You need open, honest discussion and feedback to help them achieve excellence.

2. Empathize and show compassion.
Spend time with each of your people and find out what is happening in their lives—not only at work, but in their personal lives as well. Empathy is the ability to actually feel the pain or joy of another person. Empathy helps you understand someone else's position, and is the first step to showing compassion. I see compassion as " the commitment to connect with passion." Whenever your employees make the effort to share feelings, concerns, suggestions, or constructive criticism, you need to show that you care. By taking a true interest in your staff, you will relay to them that your company not only cares about its bottom line, but it also cares about each individual working there.

3. Be authentic.
Reflect often on your goals for people, making sure they come from your heartfelt desire to improve your employees' skills and their lives. Understand that people need to feel challenged and believe that their work adds value. By treating your employees as people (and not simply as a means to increase revenue), you will gain their respect. They will genuinely work harder because they believe in the work that they are doing and in you as a leader. This can absolutely be compatible with your desire to improve results.

We have to get our heads and our hearts reconnected. We have to get our hearts connected with other people's hearts. It means leading with the wisdom in your heart.
