Follow Your Heart

When I was young, I used to say that the "mind" is placed on the upper part of body for it to control our emotions and decisions in life. I used to live that principle. But then, I realized that when you're trapped in a situation wherein you have to choose between your heart and your mind, I learned that the heart is oftentimes powerful than the mind.

I used to love a quote stating, "follow your heart freely and if you get lost, use your mind to go back home". Being in love with someone and being indulged to something might make you feel happy and complete, but always remember the rule in loving - to love yourself first... love yourself completely so that when it's time to share it to someone, you can give him yourself completely.

So, whether it's choosing the person to love, the friends to go with, the company you'll be applying for, the business you'll be establishing, or even the course you'll be taking, make sure that when you decide, the LOVE for yourself is there. Use your heart and your mind to decide.

An Empty Glass

I always thought that being empty is a negative feeling. But then, when we try to realize and observe the things going on around us, somehow, we can compare ourselves to an empty glass. This is because every now and then, we have to be filled up with knowledge, with experiences, with lessons, and with emotions as we struggle in this world everyday. If we will compare ourselves to filled up glasses, then, we can no longer absorb the new experiences we gain, and never learn from them.
