Listen to your brain and not to your heart

One of my friends shared a post saying "Trust in the wisdom of your heart and it will carry you to places your plans have never dreamed of".

Well that's wrong. Simple plain wrong. 97% of the time it's wrong only 3% times it is right.

If you know that your heart is going to choose to play or watch TV against study and your mind knows it's wrong well don't listen to your heart. Very few like to work hard before they party at all.

You look for love of your life and you find someone absolutely charming your heart beats at just look of that person, but your mind says maybe not perhaps somethings a miss, then something is a miss.

The mind usually works on logic and reasoning hence listen to your mind, ask your heart to shut up and do the work of pumping the blood in your veins at right rate and not interfere with thinking which is really work and expertise of brain.

It is possible you may suffer if your heart is not into it, but then it's a guarantee you will suffer either ways, and it makes sense to suffer for things that you can explain giving logic and reasoning.

It is easy said then done, but it must be done. If your mind is mindful and aware of logic and reasoning it will more often take you on better path, I wouldn't say right or wrong path, because it's relative there is nothing as absolute right or absolute wrong.

How can one make sure that mind is on right or better track? Many people say exercise, Yoga and meditation is the answer to being aware and being mindful in a way that will take you in right direction and I completely agree with it, but there is a bigger and better power there which is much more powerful than Yoga, exercise and meditation, that is will power. If your will power is strong one can achieve anything. It doesn't need catalysts and stimulants like exercise or Yoga or meditation. I have seen people defy death and ghastly illness or injuries mere with will power.

Yes Yoga, exercise and meditation lead to a better mental and physical health and work as stimulants and/or catalyst to develop, harvest or amplify your will power, but don't forget the real power is within your mind itself.

If you can harvest your will power you can win any battle; the biggest challenge is to learn to harvest it. Will power comes from within your mind and your heart has no role to play in there.

Harvest the power within!
