A game plan of shielding yourself at all times, never letting anyone in, may seem like self-preservation, but it’s a path that eventually leaves you feeling disconnected. True strength lies not in building walls but in finding the courage to be vulnerable with the right people.
Allowing others in doesn’t diminish your power; it enhances it. The heart grows by embracing love, pain, and everything in between. Guard your energy wisely, but don’t let fear be the architect of your isolation.
