Imagine that you’re going for a walk in a forest when you come upon a guy furiously sawing down a tree.
“What are you doing?” you ask.
“I am sawing down a tree,” comes the curt reply.
“How long have you been at it?”
“Four hours so far, but I’m making progress,” he says, sweat dripping form his chin.
“You saw looks very dull,” you say. “Why don’t you take a break and sharpen it?”
“I can’t, you idiot. I’m too busy sawing.”

Open Hearts to life
We often close ourselves off when unfortunate events happen in our live. We try to reduce the hurt and pain by pretending it doesn't exist, 1.We need to learn to open our hearts to the potentials of life and let the world soften us.
Whenever we start to let our fears and seriousness get the best of us, we should take a step back and re-evaluate our behavior. The items listed below are the ways you can open your heart more fully and completely.
Breathe into pain
Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to embrace it instead of running away.2. When we run away from sadness, it will get stronger and more real. By making use of our breath, we soften our experiences and allow more newness and greater experiences to blossom.
3.
I know we’ve all felt decisions or actions that we had to take simply due to our "gut" impulses: when asked, we can’t explain the reasons behind doing so--just a deep knowing that it had to get done. To start this process, take few deep breaths and then ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here? What action feels the most right?”
See what comes up, then engage and evaluate the outcome.
Spend time alone.
For most of our lives we’re surrounded by people: our friends, colleagues, peers, family members, and loved ones, and strangers. How often do we really spend time alone? When you spend time in solitude, you're free from the influences of other people, and can truly open yourself and explore whatever you’d like. See where your thoughts take you.4.
It might be painful or even scary at first, but by opening yourself up to these new feelings, you’ll add a whole new layer of depth, experience, and understanding into your life.
Get outside of yourself
This may seem a little contradictory to the last tip, but in reality, they actually work hand-in-hand. After you’ve explored the depths of yourself, you come away with a new understanding. Now, it's time to share that -not through telling others, but through being with others.
When you’re in a group of people, try to give them your full energy and attention so you can understand them just as you did yourself.5.Lose yourself in the beauty of others; see what they can teach you about yourself.
A.Embrace the uncomfortable.
B.Ask your heart what it wants
C.In the end, though, we can't hide from ourselves
D.We should take a step back and re-evaluate our behavior
