This
phrase runs rampant through our society in music... in
literature... in films... it's everywhere. So, why is it that
so many of us do not listen to our hearts? With some not even
knowing what their own heart is saying?
The
answer is because we all want to do what makes sense and
listening to our hearts, simply does not make sense in most
situations. Many times we just plain avoid it. The heart may
ache to reach for a career in which we do not feel qualified
to pursue, so we tune it out and keep on, keepin' on (no
matter how miserable we feel). The heart may call out to a
long lost love, but we shut it up because that relationship
never would have "worked" for us (but did we really,
truly try?). How many of people fall head over heels in love
with a partner that fits into our life logically? Not too
many. People have sensible relationships all the time, but
that head over heels thing only comes from listening to the
heart and usually the heart does not make a lot of sense. Why
is that?
The
heart knows what we need to do to evolve as people, to heal
old wounds, to uncover our true talents, to become all that we
can become. The heart holds the blueprint of our spiritual
path and following that path is the only true thing we need to
do with our lives. It is my belief that each person has come
to this planet to grow, to evolve and to express themselves.
Your greatest work is in understanding what is in your own
heart and how you can best bring that into reality. But that
path does not make sense at first, because it is not designed
to.
The
song of the heart is meant to help us dance through life, not
measure out every beat. If you break down any musical piece
into every note and then dissect and analyze the notes, you'd
never get to enjoy the melody. And, we are meant to enjoy this
melody of life. We are meant to feel freedom, joy, peace,
harmony and all that delicious stuff, but oftentimes we don't.
And that is because we have stopped listening to our hearts
somewhere along the line.
For
just today, I'd like to invite you to find one way in which
you can honor the song in your heart. Trust your own
intuition. How can you "dance your own dance"? How
can you truly listen to your heart? Start small if you have
to, by trusting your instincts on what color to wear to that
job interview, or how many apples you might need for that pie.
Know that you have all the answers you need within yourself
already. Every piece of wisdom you can ever need to navigate
your life path already exists within you, or you would not be
experiencing the lesson in the first place. The Universe gives
it all to us, the questions, the quizzes, the tests and the
entire answer key, but we need to listen to our hearts in
order to find
them.
