Dear Wounded Heart,

We have great ideas, dreams, and hopes. And we want them to be a reality, but we may need to heal first. When we create from a broken place, although unintentionally, we risk breaking others. It’s more than a cliché to say hurt people hurt people. Sometimes it is a fact. As an unhealed person, we can unknowingly contaminate our gifts and contributions to the world. Think about looking at your work from a healed point of view and thinking, “I should not have done this.”

Be encouraged! Our talents will wait, and if we find we are not emotionally ready to complete the work, they need to. Although healing is a process, we need to be in a good place to give the best to others. And we may work while we heal, and we may not. The goal here is to bring our attention to the possibility that we may need to monitor our efforts or stop and heal first as we produce the products that inspire others and that make us proud.

 

Sincerely,

Healing
