Heart Growing

Criticism often comes with the intention to darken our heart, to fill it with anger and hate. But we have a choice:   🤔 If we take it as insult, we grow the hurt bigger.   🤔 If we choose love instead, we grow the heart bigger.   Every criticism is a test. It asks: Is our love real, or is it conditional?   🪞 If we react with resentment, we copy the darkness of others.   ✨️ If we rise higher, we practice unconditional love — with ourselves and with them, even if they cannot return it.   The universe is watching: Are we worthy of unconditional love, or only the same conditional love we mirror back?   Reflection:   Criticism is not here to break us. It is here to strengthen us, to show how resilient our heart, mind, and emotions truly are. When we choose love over darkness, we evolve. We grow. We prove that our love is real.

I went to the treetop adventure park in Kanchanaburi, and while moving through the course I noticed something: Each hook represents our attachments and dependencies. Each zipline represents the people we hold onto—and those who willingly give us support as we face the obstacles of life. The combination of climbing, balancing, and moving from tree to tree made it feel playful and adventurous, almost like being a kid again. The best part was the view from up high and the sense of freedom it gave. By the end, I felt both energized and proud of myself for completing the course. This experience made me wonder: Are you clipped into a secure zipline—relationships and practices that truly hold you? Or are you relying on lines that feel shaky, where trust and safety aren’t guaranteed? If you were to build a secure zipline, would you begin by anchoring it in yourself first—your own choices, your own sovereignty—before inviting others to clip in alongside you? 👉 Where in your life do you feel se...

  We are taught to aim for selfish love… 🤲🏼Love that gives us something in return. 🤲🏼Love that fulfills our desires. 🤲🏼Love that makes us happy because someone else provides it. But this is not love. This is dependency. It is a hunger that waits for others to feed us. ✨ True love begins within. First, we love ourselves.🫵🏼 First, we make ourselves happy.🫵🏼 First, we fill our own heart.🫵🏼 Only then can love flow outward—free, unconditional, and without demand. Love is not about getting. Love is about being. 🧠 Reflection Take a moment to notice in your own mind: 🧐When I love, am I practicing selfish love (expecting, clinging, needing)? 🧐Or am I practicing selfless love (sharing, freeing, radiating)? Both will show us clearly which love we are living. And awareness is the first step to transformation. 🌱

Love that causes suffering is not true love. It’s attachment, craving, or control disguised as love. True love is freedom. When you love someone, you don’t try to own or change them. You support their growth—even if it means letting go. Love is not about getting. It’s about giving without expectation. If you love only to be loved back, you’re setting yourself up for pain. 🧘‍♂️ Love as Inner Practice 🫵🏼Before loving others, love yourself wisely. Not in a selfish way, but with awareness and care. 🫵🏼Don’t let your happiness depend on someone else’s behavior. That’s emotional dependency, not love. 🫵🏼Train your mind to be full, not hungry. A full heart gives. A hungry heart clings. 🛑 Common Misunderstandings About Love 💞Misunderstood Love → True Love 💞“You complete me” → “I am whole, and I share my wholeness” 💞“I can’t live without you” → “I wish you well, even if we part” 💞“You must love me back” → “I love you, even if you don’t return it” 🕊 Letting Go Is Not Losing Letting go...

💌 This is the letter I would be sending to my loved ones 💔 You have become a horrible obsession—the silence and the words left unsaid weigh heavier than anything spoken. When love is expressed through anger, defensiveness, or provocation, it only pushes me further away. ✨ Restraint is more valuable than heated words, because harsh words wound deeper than they heal. 🔥 I also had horrible obsession. I found how to destroy it by not believing it, by speaking my truth, and by silencing myself from acting on what it says. 🚍 I let it pass by like a bus that isn’t my number. I only speak what resonates with my heart—peace, love, and care. 💖 🤲 Affection cannot be demanded or begged—it is earned when I feel safe in your presence and truly seen by you. ❤️ I want you to know: I have always been sharing love. Nobody had to earn my love, because I share it easily. What must be earned is trust. 🤝 Trust comes when I know I will not be attacked when strong emotions rise or blame is placed on me...

Day 6: Silence as Pure Presence Talking with blessing is not only about words—it is also about the spaces between them. Silence can be a blessing when it is held with presence, not avoidance. It allows truth to breathe, emotions to settle, and connection to deepen. 🌿 Silence as Blessing Sacred Pause 🌸 — before responding, breathe. Let silence bless the moment. Listening Beyond Words 🌿 — hear not only what is spoken, but what is felt in the quiet. Compassionate Containment 🌅 — sometimes silence is the most loving boundary, protecting both sides from harm. Silence is not emptiness—it is presence. It blesses by giving space for what is real to emerge. 🌼 Practicing Silence in Conversation 🫢Instead of rushing to reply, pause and let the other person feel heard. 🫢Instead of filling every gap, allow silence to carry meaning. 🫢Instead of reacting to cruelty, sometimes the most sovereign response is silence and exit. Silence can be the red light that stops harm, or the green light that ...
