Oftentimes the head and the heart are not in harmony, and when you listen to ONLY the head, it leads to a great source of confusion.One minute the head tells you one thing, then a few minutes later it tells you something else, and before you know it you end up more confused than when you began.
Living a life run by your head is limited and will misguide you out of the poetry that is each moment.
The heart has an intelligence and knows things that the head cannot know – it has a knowing beyond logic. The heart is beyond mere emotion, but rooted in deep wisdom.There are things that you know deep down.
Sometimes we are afraid to OWN our inner-knowing, so we create the false sense of confusion for ourselves. CONFUSION is a game we play with ourselves to keep ourselves stuck where we are. The more you remain confused, the less you need to make a choice and take action. Confusion keeps you playing small.
It can be scary to get clear and own the fact that underneath the fear and confusion, you DO indeed know what to do. As you own your knowing, there are no more excuses – only the courageous responsibility to follow your truth.
We avoid truly listening to our heart sometimes because we are afraid of what that might mean to be that honest. Perhaps it will mean acknowledging that your relationship needs to end, or that it is time to leave your unfulfilling job.
There is a part of you that knows everything, since at the deepest level you are everything. When you allow yourself to listen to your heart, it will guide you on the right path. Your heart has an intelligence and wisdom – even though it might not always be easy, and sometimes rather challenging, there is usually a deeper sense of peace that comes with following your true heart’s knowing.
Deep peace is living your deepest truth, rather than out of the confines of your fear. The stress, anxiety, craziness we feel often happens because we are stuck in our heads, when in reality everything inside of us is saying something else. There is often a gap between what the head says and the heart says. The degree to which you follow only the head is the degree to which you will suffer.
To go against your true heart’s knowing is to betray yourself, and to betray yourself only leads to pain.
