When your heart tells you
it's appropriate; go for it.

The choice that you make at any given moment is underpined and directed by your heart (soul), head (mind), and emotions (feelings). Usually these three power mechanisms are in conflict or competition with each other as each one vies to gain the right to determine what will be the nature of the pending choice.
Being a soul being you have been created to be directed by the heart, not by your head or emotions. Like the heart, the mind and the emotions have their proper roles to play in enabling a person to be fully human and live a healthy life. But they are meant to be in subjection to and function in cooperation with the heart.
Even though the heart does not always control decision-making it should have the supremacy role to play in decision-making. Soul power that propels the heart is never more powerful and a person never loves as powerfully as when he follows his heart.
Whenever you become aware that your inner decision-making determinants are locking horns, however, gently or intensely it may be, as they vie to control, let your ultimate choice be: to follow your heart.
When you follow your heart your actions are appropriate because at that moment you are doing the lovely thing. And when well served love is always good and right in every situation.
No, you won't learn this at Harvard or in kindergarten. But you can learn this by simply listening to your soul. To listen to your soul is to care for your soul. And when you care for your soul your soul will care for you. Let this be your vow: FOLLOW YOUR HEART.
