How do you approach the people and situations in your life? Do you expect each person you meet to be trustworthy? Do you expect a positive outcome from each situation? Do you accord yourself love, respect and approval for who you are right this minute? Deciding to live from a place of acceptance and expectation of good seems to me to be "throwing your heart out in front of you". If you expect to get hurt, it is likely it will be so. If you expect to fail, that, too, is likely. Why? Because you give everything the meaning that it has for you. You project your expectations and create the behavior to play them out. You are that powerful.
There is no escaping the fact that you choose your attitudes and perceptions, your responses and behaviors. Your world would change miraculously if you took full responsibility for your own life. Imagine a world without blame, a world of empowered people, genuinely interested in one another, responsible and accountable!
From today on, be one of those people. Take responsibility for your actions, perceptions, feelings and projections. Say so. Affirm it. "I take responsibility for everything I think, say, feel and do." Then, throw your heart out in front of you and run ahead to catch it!
Keep It in MIND!
