Listen To The Heart
And take better care of the mind
Have we reached where we wanted to? Fulfilled all our dreams and aspirations, or the thirst for more never ends, no matter how much is absorbed already? Every night we see the same dream we saw years back. But then we aren’t monks, and so expecting the desires to diminish is absolutely unrealistic.
The roads to different decisions decide what destiny unfolds for you in the future. A path to peace or dissatisfaction lies completely on the critical decisions we made in the past. Some dreams are broken permanently but some in turn may give rise to entirely new dreams.
In the overwhelming moments of confusion, I decided to always look inside and trust my instincts. By doing so, I suffered a loss in personal growth, but the feeling had been so intense that I wonder if I could have ever been happy had I decided upon any of the other ways. Compromising with my inner self was something I couldn’t ever do. It has been a roller coaster ride between learned lessons and contentment I agree, but worth listening to what the heart suggested anyways.
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” — Albert Einstein
If logic-driven decisions make you stand apart from others, then paying attention to emotions and feelings would make sure that in the end, it’s not you standing alone there.
Here are some reasons why you should always listen to your heart:
Your heart knows what’s best for you
Your heart is a powerful tool that can help you navigate through difficult situations. It can guide you toward what’s best for you, even when you’re unsure of what that is. When you listen to your heart, you allow yourself to tap into your inner wisdom and make decisions that align with your true desires.
You avoid regret
When we ignore our hearts and make decisions based on logic or external factors, we often regret them later. We may feel like we made the wrong decision or wonder if things would have been different if we had followed our hearts. However, going with your inner sense makes you stand by the decisions we made, no matter if they don’t turn out the way we expected or not.
You live authentically
When you listen to your heart, you live authentically. You allow yourself to be true to who you are and what you want, rather than conforming to societal expectations or the opinions of others. Furthermore, you can pursue your passions and live a life that’s meaningful and fulfilling to you.
You build self-trust
When you listen to your heart and make decisions based on your intuition, you build self-trust. You learn to trust your instincts and have confidence in your ability to make decisions that are in your best interest. This self-trust can help you navigate through life with more ease and confidence.
A big truth is that the heart may not be as educated as the brain is, but it knows what really matters. If you don’t pay attention to it, there’s a lot of sadness, and heaviness that awaits you. The brain cannot work without the heart supplying oxygen to it, so let’s make this tiny voice to be the mentor and follow the path it guides you to. This Path is going to lead you to an unbelievable destiny.
Switch on the light of your inner lamp and see yourself standing where God always wanted you to be!!
