The story They don’t know: When the Heart and Brain disagrees

// February 2nd, 2010 // Life, Thoughts

Things were going well until the day when He’s Heart and Brain disagreed on a crucial matter. The brain advised thought and pragmatism while the heart sang its song, reminding him of the fond memories and feelings that surfaces.

What was He to do? Which part was He supposed to listen to? Struck with dilemma, He decided to isolate himself to think about He’s situation. And there, He’s inner voice speaks.

“Your brain is only a part of you, the same stays true for your heart. The fact that they disagree is because they express two different parts of your personality. Contrary to popular belief, we cannot be easily described by adjectives: good, bad, happy, sad. Because the truth is we tend to incorporate the whole spectrum of feelings and reactions to a given situation. The way we choose to act defines us as people since the trigger for that reaction was stronger within us at that given point in time. Your brain gives you a trigger while your heart another.

The solution? Silence your brain and heart for a while, and listen to a small voice within you, your instict. Try to throw away your fears for one second and listen to your true self. Forget about what other people say, forget the fears, guilts and all the negative feelings. Become in tune with who you really are, by silencing all the noise within. Try not to judge yourself for wanting something, since this is the only way to discover what you really want.”

Then He’s inner voice silenced as it has nothing more to say. It has no more answers to give. It only knew that He had to trust He‘s own inner voice to do what He needed to do.
