There’s A Hole In My Heart, But My Soul Overflows
Sue Dhillon is an Indian American writer, journalist, and trainer.
There’s a hole in my heart; meanwhile, my soul overflows.
The overflow makes up for the lack of sustenance. It’s the obvious factor of a broken heart. Look elsewhere and fill the soul to its capacity, perhaps even overflow beyond its limitations.
Let your life be filled to the fullest possible measure. So full should your life be that you are enraptured in all of the beauty this life truly has to offer. Fill it with abundance, love, joy, people, friends, family, kinship, compassion, ideas, thoughts, and activities—more than it can bear.
Fill it to forget.
Fill it to replace what’s not there.
Fill your soul with overflow that is unnecessary.
Do what you can to make up for the loss. Laugh at the ridiculousness of life when really all you want to do is cry. We’re free to choose.
Living With Grief or Choosing Hope
This is the thing. We can live in sorrow and despair, or we can move forward in belief and hope for a brighter day.
Perhaps tomorrow, a possibility beyond this imagination will arrive.
Maybe tomorrow, I will once again feel alive.
Tomorrow holds the promise of the unknown.
The Possibility of What Comes Next
There will be new encounters, new thoughts, new exchanges. The possibilities abound—far greater than this mind can imagine.
What I conjure has limitations.
What life has to offer does not.
We don’t know what tomorrow has in store. God has it noted. There’s a plan in place for what will happen next. How your life unfolds is up to us, but only to an extent.
How we receive what happens is totally in our control.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring, but the hope of it makes me want to live another day.
In the despair of grief and the captivity of sorrow, I cannot bear another tomorrow.
In the vivid glory of hope, I see the unfoldment of beauty and magic.
Yes, I want to live another day.

So Here’s Some Advice
1. Love Yourself for Now
Do the soul work. I give this advice always and for pretty much everything because it works. This is the wise way through.
When we begin to live as existentialists, we better understand life and the things that happen to us. We use struggle and challenge as opportunities to work on ourselves.
Do things that are awesome for your soul right now.
It’s okay. Being alone is not the end of the world.
2. Everything Happens for a Reason
Know there is a reason for this, and it will make you stronger and wiser in the end. You will be better for it.
3. Do Soul Work
Do things that are awesome for your soul. This matters so much it’s worth repeating.
Loving yourself is a form of soul work and soul work is a form of loving yourself.
4. Be Excited About the Possibilities
Keep hope and faith. There is so much more to live for.
This is just one small snippet of your life, and it too shall pass.
5. Learn to Be Okay Being Alone
Being alone can be profoundly beautiful. It’s an opportunity to awaken and deepen your relationship with yourself.
Let the vastness of your soul—and the beauty and magic within it—overtake you.
If you embrace being alone with this mindset, you’ll begin to see it as a gift rather than a punishment.
I’m alone, but never lonely. I embrace it.
I’m here to grow, learn, and evolve.
I use this as an opportunity to better myself every single day.
Our work is never done.
6. What’s the Lesson?
For help with this, you can download my The Ultimate Self-Inquisition Guide to better understand the situation.
I teach self-inquiry, and this process helps uncover why something happened and what lesson it holds.
Everything that happens carries a lesson. If we don’t learn it, we repeat it—again and again—until we finally do.
Especially the challenges.
