What does an open heart mean to you?

And what does the "right decision" look like?

“I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.”

~ Maya Angelou

For me, an open heart used to look like lack of boundaries for myself…just forgiveness and understanding for others.

Open heart just for others.

Now, open heartedness is for myself and others.

The “right decision” considers myself and others.

The boundaries keep me safer and more loving…because you aren’t actually open-hearted when you are giving yourself away. You are a doormat. A pretty, high-functioning, smart doormat.

What is being open hearted mean to you?
