As the end of the year fast-approaches, it\u2019s easy to feel either really excited or upset.\u00a0 If this year has been one where you have realized a lot of the goals you set out to accomplish at the beginning of the year, it can be exciting to look back and see how far you’ve come and look forward to setting new goals that take you even further in the upcoming year.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t done many (or any) of the things you committed to doing at the beginning of the year, then it can be a depressing, and you may think that there\u2019s nothing you can do in just two short weeks. This thought process can stop you from wanting to set goals \u2013 or dream new dreams \u2013 in the upcoming year.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where you’d be wrong<\/i>!<\/p>\n

Think about it.\u00a0 How many times in your life have you stopped yourself just short of reaching a goal or making a dream come true because you were afraid that it\u2019s too late? That you blew it? \u00a0That nothing is going change, anyway?<\/p>\n

All of these thoughts are just your brain\u2019s way of doing its job to protect you.\u00a0 What is it protecting you from?\u00a0 From your fear of being hurt and disappointed.\u00a0 And nowhere<\/em> does this fear show up more than when it comes to the area of love and relationships!<\/p>\n

The fear stems from the deep-rooted belief that, while true love may exist, it doesn\u2019t really <\/em>exist for you<\/i>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t often use the word \u201cwrong<\/em>,\u201d but I have to use it for a second time in this message, especially when it comes to this point!<\/p>\n

The truth is that you were created to love and be loved.\u00a0 <\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

You were\u00a0not<\/span> created, not to spend your life alone or feeling unhappy inside of a relationship.<\/p>\n

You were created with the primary purpose of living, giving, and experiencing love!<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

It\u2019s your birthright<\/i>.<\/p>\n

You are not<\/span><\/b> the one person on the planet<\/i> who was created without that intention.<\/p>\n

So, why is it so difficult for you to believe that?<\/p>\n

Probably because somewhere in your past \u2013 whether it was recently or very long ago \u2013 you had the experience of feeling unloved.<\/p>\n

So you made a decision.<\/p>\n

You decided that you didn\u2019t deserve love.\u00a0 And you may have even decided that you did<\/em> deserve the pain you were experiencing.<\/p>\n

Inside of that decision, it becomes difficult \u2013 almost impossible \u2013 for you to ever allow another person to get that<\/i> close and risk allowing someone else to have that<\/i> much ability to ever hurt you ever again<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It also becomes very easy to associate love with pain, disappointment, and \u201csuffering,\u201d which could lead to you attracting one heartache after another into your life.<\/p>\n

Either way, the result is the same:\u00a0 You block love.<\/b><\/p>\n

You resist love. Even when the possibility of having a healthy, happy, intimate relationship presents itself, you won\u2019t see it. You won\u2019t allow<\/i> yourself to see it.<\/p>\n

So, what can you do to begin letting love into your heart?<\/b><\/p>\n
