I was in my teen when I keep hearing my old fellas to guard my heart until such a certain time. They spent drilling these words unto me that in almost everything I did, I find always cleansing my emotion every now and then but what actually they mean to guard my heart has far deeper thought, now I realized such.
It isn't about imprisoning your heart or emotion but rather refraining things that could poison your thoughts when you let it in your heart. These things such as emotional baggage, frustrations, and intangible anxieties which could break down your peace.
Being your own watchman is our own responsibility to yourself so here's how you can guard your heart properly against poisonous emotions.
1. Protect It
Your safe place or person isn't really safe. Sometimes the one whom we trusted can betray us, but to have guaranteed protection that no evil emotion can penetrate your heart for a long time is to adhere to His Words. No wounds in life that could not be healed if you always reconnect with your Creator.
2. Strengthen It
Humans are all subject to difficulties and storms in life. No one can actually escape this and everyone face problem on their own. Even kids have their own problem. The thing is, it may vary from the level we see it but still for three-year-old kid an absent of mum which creates a longing in his/her young heart is still a problem.
A legal problem of a businessman could be more complex than those of the peddler that is trying to make a living on the street but cops forbid them to do so is a problem. However, if one is reared and raised according to how we should be supposed to be, free from hatred, envy, or avenge no matter how unfavorable things be we learned to accept it and go on with life.
To strengthen your heart against those things that would trigger emotions such as hatred is to uphold the believe that for every injustice you experience there could be some gift waiting in your life at the end of it had you successfully pass the test. Since you are a human living in this world, everything is just a test.
3. Constant Renewal Of Life
The moment you realized you aren't living a clean way as you are supposed to be, make amends to get back on the right track. You need to set those past experiences on fire and forget it completely. I know being a human, it could be difficult to forget the past experience. We aren't like a hen that the moment we lose our eggs it only took one bath for us to have amnesia and forget we had laid eggs. However, trust that you can do so.
I am sure you had been a lot of things in the past for those previous years here on Earth. You hadn't lost that perseverance and strength. It is in you and you only have to get it back and put it on once again. This time, it will make you mindful and stronger than the past YOU.
The application of these 3 is surely vital if you want to keep a clean heart, free from excess baggage of the past and more ready to face the future. A good future always awaits those who know how to forget misfortunes whether in career, family life, or friendship. They are the people who know how to unlock grace and cultivate a healthy relationship with others because they are the one who are entitled to be more happy.
