My head and heart have come to blows.
“I know best!” said my head.
“As you think.” said my heart.
I don’t know which one to believe.
“I make sense!” said my head.
“So you say.” said my heart.
A Wise One hinted to me why.
“I work fast!” said my head.
“Yes you do.” said my heart.
Today in silence I keep watch.
(to be continued.
maybe.)

Here’s how I’ve learned to tell the difference now between my head & heart:
My head thinks about “what can we do to make some money now, pay the bills, be prudent, take calculated risks?”
My heart thinks about, “what can we do to make significance now, pa y attention to people who matter in our lives, take vulnerability as an asset not a risk?”
Then what I do is to get my head and heart to work together. I don’t like to think of these “coming to blows” although once upon a time, they did fight constantly with each other as you can read above.
Why? Because we all know that a family that constantly quarrels will spend more time arguing than moving forward. A company that constantly is embroiled in conflict cannot make progress or compete or remain sustainable for very long.
And a person whose head and heart are constantly coming to blows? That’s a person who’s spending more precious energy dealing with internal conflicts than experiencing the richness of life.
