Heart, Love and Soul

“Everything is made of light; everything is alive. The Great Mystery of life has little to do with intelligence. The universe is not an intellectual process. The intellect is helpful; but our hearts are the wiser part of ourselves.” -- Mellen-Thomas Benedict 

Heart is where everything starts, the different levels of our well being, the love aspect of our souls, and other emotions.

Love significantly starts with appreciation. Although appreciation is not an "emotion" but according to many resources, it is actually a soul quality. If we personally choose to be appreciative, it becomes easier to make decisions or make good choices. In addition to, this also opens our hearts to love and openly receive love (from family and friends). 

“If you open your heart, love opens your mind.” -- Charles John Quarto
