I have always heard the old folks say that a Hard Head Makes for a Soft A.. (you can guess the last word). However, I would like to amend that statement and add, So Follow your heart!
I was recently talking to a good friend who was trying to make career decision. She had been recruited by a potential employer that would have been the perfect career opportunity. Besides, anytime an employer is actively recruiting you that's always a good thing. She went through a couple of rounds of interviews. The job would have been more money, more time with her son, and the possibility of endless advancement. Her head told her that this was the right job to take for a lot of quantitative (money!) and qualitative (time with family) reasons. However, there was only one problem with the job offer: HER HEART
You see our heart is an extension of our internal spirit. We never make the wrong decision when we follow our heart. Yes is sounds sappy," Follow your Heart" but that's what happy and successful people do. They listen to there internal voice. They listen to the call of the divine on their life. Whatever you would like to call it, Listen to that Voice, Listen to the Spirit, Follow my Heart; They all mean the same thing.
When I asked her why she didn't take the job, she simply said my heart told me to stay where she was and follow her passions. I applaud her tenacity. It takes real strength to tell year Head NO and Your Heart Yes.
So the next time you hear the voices of our ancestors saying, "A Hard Head Makes for a Soft A.." Remember to, "Follow your Heart and your Mind will be Free!"
