"The heart has reasons that reason cannot know."
It's a quote from Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician and philosopher. Now before you think I am going all nerd on ya let me confess I heard it on One Tree Hill, but still it resonated all the same and it got me to thinking how true that statement really is.
My heart always knows what it wants. It screams to me but I chose to not listen. It tells me to jump I stay still because I am scared. It tells me to take chances, I ignore it because I don't want to look like a fool. It wants me to get out of my comfort zone, begs me to confess how I feel, I silence it with over analyzing. Now I am thinking maybe my heart knows something I don't know. Maybe it is in on this cosmic joke and I need to give it the chance it deserves. I need to jump, head first no matter how scared I am. Today I start shutting off my brain and listen to the reason of my heart. Its a strong heart, the strongest part of me, its time I respect that. It's time I follow that, unafraid and unconditionally.
I would have to say, for me, there is a happy medium of following my heart. Somedays I realize that I am an adult and I have to really just use my head and bite the bullet. Do what is not so fun in the hopes that I can resolve my issues.
ReplyDeleteHowever, following my heart is such a huge part of my life. Being a free spirit comes with it's benefits & downfalls and anyone who listens to their hearts has more free spirited-ness than most.
I would encourage you to follow your heart solely and see where it takes you. It's a wonderful journey.
