Know a good thing

Ladies, we all know when we see a great pair of shoes that we have to have. We all know that feeling when we try on that perfect pair of jeans. So, we know when we have found a good thing in the retail department most certainly. But do we know when we have found a good thing in love? Do we know how to react to it, how to nurture it and how to appreciate it? I would say that sometimes, we get ahead of ourselves. Perhaps we over-criticize? Perhaps we want to protect ourselves, and protect our heart and we do so in bizarre ways? Perhaps both females and males are guilty of the same thing. We react to things that make us vulnerable by creating boundaries to make us feel safer. We see something good and we are scared it may really be good, and perhaps we do something stupid to mess things up? say something stupid out of insecurity, search for comfort elsewhere, or simply block it out and avoid feeling anything.

The reality is that fear can paralyze us, can make us have contrived, too thought out words and actions. What we really should do is act with our heart, do what feels natural, say what is on our mind, not worry about what others think or say, stop worrying about protecting ourselves, avoid games, avoid lame distractions and be in the moment, enjoy life, enjoy love and be bold and go for the things we want.
