We all know that the heart is the main organ in the body, so naturally when something compromises the heart the whole body is affected. Most of us probably don’t even realize how many of our actions are based on where our heart stands. We say things like, “If your heart’s not in it then don’t do it”, “The heart wants what it wants”, and, “I’ve had a change of heart.” All of those statements determine how you respond to any given situation.
This week I had someone ask me for a hug. As much as I love giving hugs, I was a llittle hesitant because my heart was not on it. Rather than give them a pretentious hug, I decided to address the issue of where my heart is. After hearing what I had to say, the both of us decided to give each other another chance, and a heartfelt hug was shared. Sometimes all it takes is a moment of honesty and a change of heart to change your circumstances. As humbling as that may be, the reward can be priceless. The conversation and hug I shared today changed my future.
