“Guard clear thinking and common sense with your life. Don’t lose sight of them, even for a minute. It will keep your soul alive and well.”
Proverbs 3:21-22
I used to believe that clear thinking and common sense were a part of my head and my mind. Recently though, I have found that that isn’t the truth for me. My clear thinking and my common sense lie within my heart. My heart is at the center of my being, the place where my Higher Power lives, breathes, and loves me. My mind however, it is usually the one that gets me in trouble. My mind says that my heart is wrong, it tells me not to follow my heart, it says to do the logical things that make sense.
The truth for me is that this life isn’t logical. This life often doesn’t make sense and when I try to make sense of it, I try to control it, I try to force solutions, and make things happen the way I want them too. But the harsh truth of the matter is that my plans for me suck, the way I want things to turn out are not the best way, what I want is pretty much never what I need. I am not in control of my life… no matter how much I want to be.
However, when I follow my heart. I am content, happy, joyous, and free. When I follow my heart I say what I need too despite another’s reaction, I do what I need and want too without fear, and by listening to my heart, I allow my life and the lives of those I love to just flow. Oh the joys of listening and following my heart.
I don’t follow my heart well. At all. I would like to say that I can and do. I wish I lived this way every single moment of my days. But I am a work in progress and this is one step toward wholeness and healing within my life.
Follow our hearts
This is, sheerly, my soul.
Love reading your heart! Its pretty fantastic!
