Remember Rocky V? Go For It!

Is it possible to have meaningful relationships?  We live our lives so guarded that we constantly hide from the world our authentic self image.  We become masters of disguise, mirroring always the expectations of others and masking our true concerns, needs and longings not only from people around us but even from our own selves.  At the end of the day no communication we have with others carries any substance-- the issues of the heart are simply never to be addressed. 

 That’s why I personally employ a very simple strategy especially used when I go get my coffee.  Some may find this uncommon or out of the comfort zone but you never know, this perhaps will benefit you as it has also helped me.  When I go to Starbucks and the employer asks me how are you doing?  I go off and I tell them what’s on my heart and mind.  Crazy right?  To my surprise I have consistently discovered that when the heart speaks, the hearts will answer.  

It’s a very liberating experience and a good place to start to pursue the discipline of having a less superficial lifestyle.  Would you dare try to do the same today?  In the words of the movie Rocky V...go for it!!  Let’s see what happens.
