I am currently reading a book by my favorite author, James Allen. There is a part in the book that speaks on nurturing the heart. I was thinking about the last time I nurtured my heart, mind, body, and spirit-it has been too long. I want to take care of my heart so I am strong and sincere with my intentions. I think that to nurture my heart I have to forgive people for bringing pain into my life. I have a difficult time with forgiveness depending on the level of pain that was caused. I try to give people around me the benefit to change and to love with no conditions. I want to see and experience the best in people. My pain comes from the reality that some people do not have good intentions for me. I need to take more time to love myself and not to be consumed with thoughts that will not bring anymore time to my life. I believe that cultivating my heart involves accepting who I am when I am strong and what I become when I am weak. I want to be solid and true to who I am and who I am aspiring to be.

Love is unmistakeably the height and depth of divine enlightenment of what a human soul can experience here on earth. I never understood why people choose to love when the reality of being hurt is inevitable. Until I dove, heart first, I finally understood it...Life without love is meaningless. Even though losing love hurts; I would rather have loved and feel pain than to have never loved ...Shakespeare was a great man.
