Love, goodness, benevolence and blessings… You don’t need to earn these things in life. They are a free gift to all of us. They surround us right now. They are inside of us, right now.

We just need to open our eyes and see them, so that we can properly count our blessings. Because there’s always the danger that if you don’t recognise them, you might lose them.

You probably know this from experience: It can be very painful to realise how precious something was after you have lost it and can never get it back.

And the most precious of all things in this world is a human heart. If there is someone in your life who genuinely cares about you, make valuing that person the most important thing in your life. Never stop showing them how much you value them.

We all have a deep and fundamental need to be recognised on the deepest level, and to be valued.

The human soul needs its divine beauty to be recognised by at least one other soul, because in being recognised, the light in that soul is intensified, and burns more brightly. Way down deep inside, we all long for this.

So for this reason alone, make it your priority to recognise and value ALL the people in your life – not just those close to you.

Look for their heart, seek out who they are on the inside, show your own vulnerability and let them see the good-nature of your own heart. Be willing to be seen for who you really are, deep inside, and you will give the other person permission to do the same.

Show your heart. Share your heart. And in the process look to recognise the heart of the other.

When one heart recognises another heart, something truly profound and seismic happens in the spiritual dimensions of reality. And the people involved feel it.

It is impossible for me to put into words the fathomless beauty of this profound cosmic occurrence. You have to feel it to understand it.
