It's About Following One's Heart...

On this Sunday morning, I had to run to the store to pick up laundry detergent...I'm convinced that's the nature of life, when you need something, it's never there! So...I head out to the store and as I was riding to the store, I found myself becoming a bit emotional...a little odd since I was just listening to a CD and singing along, but I just rolled with the punches...there had to be a reason for all of this emotion, and then it hit me.

I no longer live based on the feelings in my heart, I am exclusively guided by my head. That's not all bad...especially when we're talking about finances, career moves, exercising, and other things like that...but, it's not so good when we're talking about dealing with people and some everyday situations that require out compassionate side to emerge. I wish I could say that I now have an excellent plan for acting on this new knowledge of myself, but I don't. As much as I just want to live a life that is guided by my heart, I just can't do it and I'm quite frustrated about this reality. Some people suggest that one just makes an active decision to stop analyzing life and moves forward, but I disagree. I feel like it takes time and compassion from others to allow one to follow her heart again...

Am I just crazy and scared...I sure hope not...

I don't know if this makes any sense, but it's just what was on my mind this Sunday morning.
