When we arrive here in this lovely world, our hearts are open, we love easily and simply. Our minds are open, we see the truth in the words and the eyes of those around us. Our souls are open and readily bond with the love that others hold us in.
That is our perfect state; open. On occasion, if we by chance find ourselves closed up a little, it’s important to remember how we truly are. A reflection of the divine.

Inspiring … as children we’re not only more open we’re more curious about everything in life. That changes as we become adults and take on more responsibility, but it doesn’t have to be lost. We have the ability to choose …

You are so right Marty, it does not have to be lost. We can keep our lives open and full of the quality of being curious. The world is a big and beautiful place full of fun and adventure just waiting for us to get up and go discover it.
Thank you for sharing this post. I also agree that an open state allows you to see life in its fullness and grandeur. Being open to Love, Blessings, Peace, and opportunity is key to advancement. Thank you again for sharing.
Peace and Infinite Blessings!!!
Hi Marcus, thank you for your kind words. You are so right, being open to the blessings of the world is a much better way to live than being closed off in fear and anger.
Wow, Michael. I’ve never seen such a brief but to-the-point blog post. This one is going straight to my Pinterest board. I love it!
All the best,

Thank you Leslie. I know that sometimes I have been told that there is no reason to use 85 words when 3 will do. Thank you for the encouragement
Thanks Michael for sharing this fun and powerful post.
We tend to think that this kind of exercises are useless because we think we know why we like ourselves.
Taking responsibility is about knowing our strengths and how to improve our weaknesses, leaning to receive and feeling ok with it!
Thank you Patricia
You’re right, it is absolutely our responsibility to know our strengths and take responsibility for our own lives. We are the experts in that and no one else knows us better than we do.
Hi Michael.
What a great post. Strait and to the point. Opening the soul brings so much. When all is open we must not forget to keep our awareness of all that comes in.
Thank you

Hi Donna,
True enough, I see that sometimes I have been a bit over-wordy in my writing. Not too bad, but sometimes, I just want to put the idea down into a few words; or I guess the perfect amount of words. thank you for your kindness and your kind words.
Beautiful post, Michael. I believe the reason we are so open when we first arrive is because we haven’t forgotten who we really are. How soon we forget as we intermingle with other forgetful spiritual beings who have come here to supposedly enjoy a physical experience.

Thank you Steve. You are so right, we are open when we arrive, then we get taught stuff which is off the track a bit and start believing those other not-quite-so-true things. Good thing we have wayshowers along the path.
Michael,
Great post. It seems most religions and / or paths to spirituality talk about the power and importance of LOVE and that’s part of your great message here.
Thanks for Sharing!

Thank you Jim. It is exactly what life is all about. I think the world turns on love. And it is so worth it everyday to be alive and enjoy that reality.
Hey Micheal… as they say Short and Sweet… you could not sum it up any better to make it real… “A reflection of the divine” it is a wonderful knowing and once we are able to experience it once more.. our world will be open up to what we always strive to achieve… Balance.. balance with our self, and God within.
Thanks for taking timeto share all this will every one Michael…

Thank you Farouk, you are very welcome. I like simplicity a lot.
Hi Michael,
I definitely agree with you, I think when were younger we look at things so differently and are open to so many more different things, we see things differently, perceive things a totally different way and then later in life we seem to forget to be open to new things because in the end that’s what could make you happiest.
Thank you, Jessica.

Hi Jessica,
There are a lot of things we do learn as we are growing up that are so important to have a great life. And some we learn just as well, but are so not important or even helpful. It is good to remember that part of us that keeps us integrates with our spiritual selves.
It’s so true. As children, we’re full of wonder, open to new experiences, loving others and our world. Life goes on, and we can become weary. Weariness can turn to cynicism and bitterness if we’re not careful. If we can retain a Beginner’s Mind, we will continue to love the life we’ve been given.
Steve Borgman recently posted..Positive Self Talk: Key to Success
We are so open as children, so willing to see things as they really are. And everything is beautiful. I do understand about that cynicism and bitterness, and it is so not a way to live a life of love.
Nice picture reminding us of the importance of being open to others. We are social beings and life is far better when we love each other and share kindnesses.
