A World As Big As Your Heart

“A person’s world is only as big as his heart.”

I believe that saying is true and wise. As my heart has grown so has my world.

    it seems like we continually agree. I wrote a very short post on this same subject some time ago
    which consisted of:

    The more you love, the more you can love.

    The human heart can grow boundlessly large in its capacity to love.
    We must only accept the dare.

      I agree, Bill. Before I got to the last line of your comment I was nodding at what you wrote and said to myself, “If only we’re willing to take the risk.” Sounds like a very similar thought to your “We must only accept the dare.”

    When my daughter was about 3 years old and a friend was leaving after having had dinner with us, I hugged my friend and told her I loved her. My daughter started to cry and said I thought you loved me with all your heart. I told her I did and that there was enough room in one’s heart to love lots of people with one’s whole heart. Thanks for your post and for reminding me of a special moment. :)
