♥️ OR 🧠

 I was torn between two options—one risky, the other is safe. The risky option lured me to make a quick online purchase. Even though I know it’s more than I can or should spend, time is running out on the availability of the item. The site is telling me exactly how many of the item are left.  I was not sure exactly whether it will fit into my wardrobe but because there are only two left, I figured I need to hurry. My heart is shouting a clear Yes, telling me how great I will look in it and how happy it will make me. Shouting No just as loudly is my head, which instructs me to take a pass and save my money.

I ended up buying that thing.

Again my brain started weighing things practically and told me why did I listen to my heart !!

So, Heart or Brain?

We all have it, we experience it differently. The heart and brain will never be one. They are not friends and they never will be. My heart is depressed, and my brain is overloaded with the information. The brain fights for logic and survival, the heart fights for compassion and fairness.

Life isn’t always rainbows and unfortunately one says, ” we grow old stupidity sells that has nothing to do with the heart“. The heart feels yet the brain is more logical, the heart knows it never dies but the brain is aware of. Their is always an internal battle we all face on daily basis between the heart and the brain. They are never at peace.

Which one will lead to more happiness, purpose and fulfillment?

The answer is both.

This is not about neglecting a part of you.

You Don’t Have to Choose

You don’t have to choose between your heart and your head.

Once you understand them, and understand how to leverage their strengths, you will make millions and become famous overnight.

Just kidding…

But it will change the way you live>>

I started out by listening to my heart. I often feel drawn somewhere. I feel inspired to do something.  If my heart nudges me to do something meaningful, I’ll often run into fear. I’ll run into ‘what if’ thoughts. I do my best to welcome them in. I let go of my expectations.
And when I say let go of my expectations, I don’t mean I don’t have thoughts. I still have fearful thoughts, I just don’t give them as much attention as I used to. As I’m writing this article, I don’t worry about what you will think of it, because it would muddle my inspiration behind it. It has taken me a long time to get to this place, so don’t think that you must let go of everything today. But I also have to remember to be practical. I got the inspiration to write this article, but the practical part of me helped me outline, write, and edit the same.

 If you want to follow your heart, you have to listen to yourself and have confidence in your own inner GPS.

Summary

So, should you follow your heart or your head?

The answer is both.

Remember that there is no rush. A big part of the anguish you feel is because you’re trying to force progress.

Take a deep breath and relax.

Enjoy this adventure we call life.

For now, I am broke 😝😝 and both my heart and brain are looking forward to start their fight again!🤔🤔

Waiting for the month to end because this fight won’t!
Hope to see you soon. 😊😊
