Sometimes ago, a friend told me something that happened in his place of work. He wrote a promotional exam together with his colleague, but after the exercise, she was promoted but he was not. He felt disappointed but he decided to sincerely congratulate her from his heart, and he even offered her some supports. After a few months, a particular opening come up in another department which was better and more suited for him. So she recommended him for the position. That was how he got it. Imagine if he did not have a clean heart and if he did not wish her well from the heart, he may not even know about the new position. Your heart can attract blessings to your life when it is clean and pure. ![pexels-puwadon-sang-ngern-2168173-5340269.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPBA8B3MYzh2oitGj8M3qubBH9hRryhhY2C1ibJcn2vXC/pexels-puwadon-sang-ngern-2168173-5340269.jpg) _{Image from [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/heart-shape-object-on-person-s-hands-5340269)} There is a very strong but quite law about life that a lot of people may have forgotten about, and that is "what you predominantly carry in your heart will determine what you will attract into your life." When your heart is clean and free from bitterness, envy, and ill, it will create space for good, peace, blessing, and joy to be attracted into your life. This is because when your heart is pure, your actions will be rooted in sincerity, which will open doors of opportunities for you. Trust me, when people know that you are sincere, they will naturally trust you and will entrust more things into your hands. Having a clean heart does not mean that you have not been hurt, nor does it mean that you have never felt angry or disappointed before. Rather it means that you have made a conscious effort not to let the negative emotions to control you and your actions. The truth is that people may betray you at some points and forget your acts of kindness towards them, even from people you least expect, or life may even disappoint you. You may even feel angry at them at the moment. However, carrying anger and resentment in your mind is like punishing yourself for what someone else did. It is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to get sick. Bearing anger in your mind may not even punish the other person, but will definitely burden you. When you choose to forgive people from your heart, or sincerely wish people well from the heart, you set yourself free. You cannot underestimate the power of a clean heart to bring peace. It also removes the need for unhealthy comparison and competition, and makes you to focus more on your growth. Having peace alone in your heart is an underrated blessing on its own. The feeling you get when you sleep well knowing that you have not hurt anyone and that you wish people well in your heart. When your heart is good, it will also attract good to your life. This is part of how the universe works. One of my mentors explained something to me sometimes ago about having a clean heart. He said that when you release positive energy from your heart through goodwill, honest intentions, and kindness, you will attract positivity back. But much more than that, the universe will align to favour you. He also went further to explain that the universe has a very unique and special way of responding to the state of your heart. If you observe, you will notice that people who have clean heart often find favour even in the most unusual places. Opportunities will also appear to them at the right time. And they also do not lack help when they need it the most. This is not because their life is perfect, but because they are aligned with good energy. ![pexels-fauxels-3228686.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmT3PTFkNWnv5BeUQDBrLyA8tLHnZwmujrhiAn2Wb1nUL5/pexels-fauxels-3228686.jpg) _{Image from [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/photo-of-people-standing-beside-each-other-3228686)} Having a pure and clean heart makes relationship healthier. People can actually sense sincerity. They will know if the support you give to them is genuine or if you are forcing it. When your intentions are pure towards others, it will build trust, strengthen bonds, and also attract people who genuinely want your success too. By that, you are creating a circle of positivity that will benefit everyone. You should understand that life on earth is not infinite to be carrying negativity around. Having a clean heart does not only attract blessings to you, but it is a blessing on its own. ***Thanks for reading***

Peace on y'all
