Brain vs. H.E.A.R.T

In the human body there are two vital organs that you need in which to survive (well, really there are a couple more than that, but for argument sake, we're just going with these two).  You have the brain which controls basically EVERY function and action in the body and you have the H.E.A.R.T which pumps blood (if we were a car this would be the oil) throughout said body.  Both are very important to survival, but only one is essential for truly living.

The Brain

The human brain controls everything that is found in the body.  This is a fact that we all know.  But we also know that the brain can die while the human body is kept alive with machines.  Although we know this, many people still put an emphasis on how important it is (it really is, I'm NOT downplaying this fact) without acknowledging that people "survive" everyday without it.  The human brain can also play tricks on you.  It can make you see, hear and feel things that don't exist...like fear.  Fear is an emotion that cripples people daily from achieving goals that they want to pursue.  Maybe you want to start a business, or ask specific person out on a date.  You probably want to try out for a sports team, write a book or run in a marathon.  Fear will seep in and tell you that, "you can't do that, that's stupid, you'll fail".  This all stems from your brain.  You have to constantly fight against this negativity to keep moving forward (or START moving forward). 

The H.E.A.R.T

The human heart pumps life throughout the body every time it contracts.  Think of yourself as a machine or a car.  If you don't change the oil, you are going to have SERIOUS problems.  The machine/car breaks down and it either dies or it costs a ton of money to get it fixed.  With a little maintenance, your H.E.A.R.T (machine/car) will run smoothly.  If the brain dies, the body can still be kept alive with machines.  If the H.E.A.R.T dies, it has to be replaced or the entire body dies...period.  This is where motivation fits in.  Motivation is the ignition that gets you motor going to get the machine/car started.  Without motivation, you truly are dead.  You do not accomplish anything and you are stuck in the same position you were yesterday, last month and the year before.  Your H.E.A.R.T will not play "tricks" on you, but it does need a tuneup every now and then so you can keep striving for your goals.

Conclusion

Don't EVER let your brain override your H.E.A.R.T...ever!  Your H.E.A.R.T runs the show and that's real.  When your brain wants to talk that crazy ish, that's when you need to dig deep and let it (the brain) know that your H.E.A.R.T is bigger and badder (someone always is) and you won't be stopped until they put you in the dirt.  You may not achieve everything you want to do in your lifetime, but you NEVER will if you give up and allow your H.E.A.R.T to give and die.  Please believe that.  I hope this finds you in time and that you continue to play the game of life with H.E.A.R.T!
