08/05/17 – I Heart Morning Swims

There’s a saying, ‘You Can’t Teach Heart’…

In this case ‘Heart’ being the ability to dig deep and find what’s necessary to move beyond your current limitations. It’s said with the implication that you can learn anything, but heart is something you either possess or you don’t.

It’s highly probable that ‘heart’ isn’t something that can be taught. However, that doesn’t mean that you either have heart, or don’t.

We ALL have it.
And whilst you can’t learn it, you can discover it.

No one teaches you the subtle beauty of a rising sun. You discover it.  The sunrise is with you every day, but only once you gave it time to be known to you, a little moment in an endless stream of life, was it able to become discovered.

…This is the start of BnB’s “Heart Week”, please read the notices below for more on hearts.

With love,
