Quiet! Can you hear it? Listen carefully to your heart! It's trying to lead you to where you're supposed to go. It's always active because it never sleeps. It does everything it can to get your attention, but it's not rude or pushy because it respects your right to having a free will. So, it's never going to force you to do anything. You're going to have to take action on your own!
So listen in the still quiet of the night or early morning. Don't speak or take out your phone, and whatever you do stay away from the computer. Don't let facebook or twitter steal you away, keep them at a distance while at the same time you erase the thought of food from your mind. Your hunger can be indulged later, not now. You need to keep your mind free and clear from all the cares of living and the daily routine of life.
So what do you do next? I think it's clear. Force yourself to be quiet and let all thoughts, all noises, and all cares drift from you mind, because you're going to shift to the source of your guidance, your heart, not the anatomical heart, but your spirit. It will guide you if you let it.
Believe it or not, your mind is not the sum total of who you are. You are also a soul and a spirit who lives in a body. However, your soul is where your emotions are and at times they can take control of your actions and cause you to do things that are not in your best interest. They can create so much chaos your mind will spin with fear and doubt, keeping you from moving forward with your life or your dreams.
So if you want to "listen to your heart" it's vital that you calm your emotions and rest your mind. Find a place to lay down and relax. As you practice doing this a few times you'll begin to be at peace. When this happens it's time to ask for guidance about things you can't figure out from your mind. Ask for knowledge and wisdom about family, business decisions, career, church or whatever it is you need to know. Then by faith, rest in the fact that you have the answers you need. Never be discouraged, but instead be open to hearing from a "still small voice from within."
From experience I can promise you that you will learn how to listen if you don't give up. And you will easily understand what you hear so that you are sure you are receiving guidance. This is what successful people do. However for some this process just comes naturally, so they don't make an issue of how to perceive what they hear. But as you continue, you'll find the process becoming second nature.
So while you're just sitting there why not get started? Your spirit is waiting for you to listen!
CHARACTER AND TALENT
Building the success journey calls
But on top behavior bothers
Talent may be the only ball
Truth will call for true persistence
Our talent will mount the ups
But then what calls character?
Can that bring help no to flop?
The world awaits these thoughtful steps
Many will fail in the lane
But none is to blame of character
Life will go on with fights
Something must be done here
Talent will help but character
The joys of persistence calls
Though watching steps build banners
Life goes on after all
