People like to say “Trust your heart,” but the heart has a long track record of bad decisions.
The heart encourages us buy things that we don’t need, agree to terms that don’t serve us, and do things that we don’t want to do because it’s what everyone seems to be doing.
The heart makes decisions for sentimental reasons. It pairs us with situations that don’t serve us and delays the eventual resolution.
One can argue that making decisions with the heart brings us joy, and that is often true in the short term. If we made decisions with the analytical mind, we might miss out on life’s most rewarding experiences.
Consider trusting the soul.
The soul listens to both the heart and the mind and tempers their perspectives with wisdom and a deep understanding of what is right and wrong for the individual.
The soul understands that fads fade, that impulse purchases are often a bad idea, and that thrills are not always worth the risk. The soul knows when to get out of a bad investment, a dull relationship, or a job that drains your enthusiasm. The soul knows what you should be doing with your time if you want to be deeply fulfilled.
Let the mind weigh alternatives. Let the heart dream big dreams. Trust the soul to make the ultimate decision.
