Why Having Your Heart Broken Is Actually a Good Thing

People fear being hurt, vulnerable and having their heart broken and yet we know deep down that love is worth fighting for.

This week the energy has been heavy. And it made me realize a lot. So, I want to share this with you.

People fear being hurt, vulnerable and having their heart broken and yet we know deep down that love is worth fighting for. Love is the greatest human emotion, and we never regret experiencing love regardless of the outcome. Here’s why – even if things don’t work out, your love is never wasted. The love you give will always be returned to you. It may be in another form, or another person but I promise you that love will return to you. Knowing this should provide your mind with some form of peace. Instead of worrying about the lack of love you are receiving from others, you can focus on the abundance of love you have. You can be the love that you want to see in the world, and now you know it will always come back. For a long time, I knew pure love existed simply because I existed.

Not only are the people you love so special, but they are your greatest teachers. The special ones in your life will love you deeply and trigger you like crazy. Those triggers will show you exactly what you need to heal and where you need to give yourself more love. A lot of times, the people we love in this lifetime are soul connections. Souls we have known for many lifetimes. We make contracts with these souls before our time here. These contracts and agreements will fulfill the things we want to experience and learn while we are here. So even if things don’t work out, I have nothing but gratitude and love for them. You will see them again.

I’m not saying to go out there to purposely get your heart broken. And I’m not saying it is easy. A lot of moments are quite miserable. You cry. You miss them so much it causes physical pain in your body like someone ripped your heart out of your chest. You want nothing more but to be with them again, to reach out and talk but you don’t. The hardest part? Going through your day like nothing happened. Going to work and speaking to co-workers like you’re not on the edge of a breakdown. Being alone at night knowing they aren’t there anymore to talk to. It’s rough. But throughout the numerous heartaches I’ve experienced, I’ve learned that I always have more love to give.
Having your heart broken is actually a good thing because it breaks OPEN.

When your heart opens, everything else opens too. Your perspective, your opportunities, your connection to God.

My most recent love reminded me how much of a lover girl I truly am. It laid dormant within me because I was focused on myself for so long, but I love that side of me. I am a hopeless romantic and I am proud of it. And if I have my connection with God, I know everything I go through will only make me stronger. So, if you are experiencing heart break, my advice is: Feel It to Heal It. Cry, scream, punch a pillow, write a letter that you never send, but like always – don’t suppress your emotions. Take the time you need for yourself. Eventually you will feel better. And remember these two things – whatever is meant for you, will always find you and within you, there is no shortage of love. In fact, you are pure love.

With love,
