A courageous heart will go forth and engage with life despite confusion and fear.
A fearful heart will be hesitant and will tend to hold back.
A heavy heart will make for a glommy, unlived life.
A compassionate heart need never carry the burden of judgment.
A forgiving heart knows the art of liberation.
A loving heart awakens the spirit of possibility and engagement with others.
