Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

What does your heart tell you?

For in your heart lies your deepest desires for life, love, service. It is your heart that knows you best, not your mind, not society, not others. Be true to yourself when searching for the meaning of your life. Sit still. Be quiet. What do you feel? Quell the voices in your head. Breath, deeply, slowly. You can feel it. You can feel in your heart whatever it is that you are looking for. I know this to be true, as I sit hear and write to you I can feel my heart's burning desire to write, to share, to speak, to inspire, to encourage others to do what they are meant to do. I want to help people. I want to show them the way. I want to cast light on their darkness and hope on their doubts. It is so easy to succumb to other's desires and to ignore our own. But, by doing so, we cheat ourselves, our families, friends, and community. Life is but a glimpse. Before we know it, we will have passed over. So, I say to you in the great words of William Shakespeare:

"To thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."
