idealism

i am always heartstruck by how some words and some tiny moments touch my life so deeply, i like to call them "magical moments wrapped up in tiny seconds". it feels like an intense moment of clarity filled with warm empathy, illuminating the channels where i feel my connection with the entire world.

a couple of months ago, i was having a conversation with a friend about our views of life. I remember that one of the first things I said was something like, well i am an idealist, used as a disclosure/ warning given before I am given that look that says well that sounds pretty, but things like that do not happen... I was surprised when my friend looked me in the eyes and told me there is nothing wrong with being idealist. He said idealist comes from something that IS IDEAL, we are crazy if we don't live our lives in the direction with what we think is good for us and the world. I thought wow he is right!!

After that conversation, something shifted in the way I communicate with the world. I began to own what I think and say what I think and feel without being afraid of the responses I would get from other people. Sharing what I truly feel in my heart with others has not only been liberating, but I am seeing how the circles around me are changing and shifting in a way that I feel supported and uplifted.

My deepest gratitude and appreciation to you for sharing your life and supporting me,
allowing my life to expand in all directions!

I found this article about the idealist temperament in wikipedia and if you know me. I think it will make you smile :)
