I feel like the way for humans in the future will be to operate from a place of heart, which by default of such action creates more sincerity. This state of being opens portals.

This is my MO.  I don’t wear a mask, I’ve gone through tremendous hell in my life starting in childhood and I’ve climbed out of that dark well into a better person.  This is why I’m real.  This is why I’m fearless.  My actions towards other people are not calculated.  They are sincere.  I’m not perfect, the result of my trauma gives me walls that I will carry the rest of my life but I’m okay with this.  The downside to being real is that you miss certain social cues because you’re playing a different game, a game that isn’t even a game at all because it’s sincere.

Social media is very performance and appearances driven.  It’s also new, so people are using it in that way.  I feel like in the future social media can evolve into something less superficial and more real.  This is the end result of the rise of the heart and heart based actions in people.  I feel this coming.  As I move forward in my life, I make this an aim in every breath I take: to let life pour through me from my sincerity and heart.  One of the most influential Super Soul Sunday episodes I saw a few years ago was with Tim Storey.  He said when you’re heartsick it knocks the shout out of you.  This was powerful for me because I realized all the sadness and trauma of my life had “knocked the shout out of me”.  This is what PTSD is. Let that sink in.  This is your voice, your portal to your individuality.  From that moment forward I started working to change this in me.  One of the 1st realizations I had was how powerful the people around you are when you are heart based.  To be heart based means to choose people wisely.  It also means to honor your feelings and not ignore them.  Example:  if you have romantic feelings towards someone and they’re not moving forward don’t spend time with them.  Even though it might be nice to see them because it triggers your warm and fuzzy sentiments ultimately you are hurting your heart.  Boundary is important in matters of the heart. 

We can tear off our fake mask selves when we become heart centered because we don’t have to lean on a persona of ourselves anymore.  It’s living in a state of being enough, and being ok, and allowing yourself to feel because you can handle it.  You are then leaning and operating out of your heart.
