Life always has so many options, the good, the not so good, the bad and not so bad, but we have to deal with all of this with a clear mind, and use our heads and not our hearts.
But does it really work that we use our heads in all our decisions, ? sometimes I tend to use my heart and know that I have goofed it up for myself(No one else is at stake here!)
Many a times when the kids were little and life was tough for them.i.e. all they wanted to do was play with their friends, and nothing could me pleasure than seeing happiness all over their faces.
Very often, it was "come on, get over with that work, project, chapter etc,and then only can you go down to play,"
Often, it was difficult to say those words, as I knew deep inside what I really wanted to give them.
a little bit of cheer, forget about the studies for that time, and just laugh, and run jump and scream,....... go babies go.
Having done this often, I would ask the kids, if they would sincerely pick up their unfinished tasks and do it, after their play,"Yes" was the fastest yes, I have ever heard.
During all of these experiences of mine i.e. dealing with my heart a little more than my head, I have found happiness within me, a feeling that is inexplicable, and to see the joy on the kids faces, their shoes muddied, their tees, messed up..lifted me up to know that I did well or rather my heart did well.
On the flip side, it cannot always be so, there are times, the head has to take over completely no heart here.
There was this vendor where I stopped to pick up a little knick knack, not a regular there, and had not see his face before, I picked up the brightest floor brush, and the change he gave me, was not right,
My heart took over me...completely.."let it go" "not too much to let go, come on!" that was what I was hearing my heart speak.
But my head said"No" "teach him the right way,"
So all said and done I told him he had to give me some more change to make the balance right.
He realised he could not get any further with his excuses and gave me the change.Like I mentioned very little, but surely after telling him kindly not to do so as he would loose a lot of his customers he would have realised it.
After that incident felt so much better that I did not mix up my emotions...
We have to have a balance of both, surely life gives us the options,
