Being Open

BEING OPEN

Living openly is best. Anything that stands between you and your heart creates pain.

Talking about problems is admitting you have them. Admitting problems is the first step in solving them . You can’t solve the problem you won’t face.

You can’t be fixed if you don’t reveal the part of you that’s broken.

Hide even a small fault and it keeps you from getting close.

Disclose a great weakness and you create intimacy.

What you conceal becomes your suffering Try to protect yourself against all possible hurt and you hurt yourself more than you would if you were open.

You can never be safe if you can never be happy.The shield that protect against any hurt diminishes every joy.

If you stand up for your pain you can love.

Love can only flourish where it is easy to tell the truth .

The world is about taking in , not shutting out.

Be open to all of you.

To love yourself, accept all of yourself.

No one is alone who loves him or herself.
