Heart vs. Head
Why is it that we are so afraid of the unknown? We live in this repetitive cycle of work, home, play, etc. Same thing everyday. There are things that we have on our “One day I will…” list…but when is one day? What are we waiting on? I know that I am the worst at putting off things that I really want to do. I am infamous for saying things like: “I’m worried that…”, “I can’t until…”, “Someday I will…”, “What if…”, “Oh screw it…I’ll have another Stoli Martini…”
I have a great friend we will call her Sarah. Sarah has never been afraid of following her dreams. She has moved across country at the drop of a hat many times. She doesn’t make a Pro/Con list for anything, she just follows her heart. She is the ultimate right brained person. She enjoys life and never puts her “wants” on the back burner.
I have another friend we will call her Marie. Marie is the opposite. She follows her head. Marie sees the realistic side of everything. She is the friend I go to when I need a good dose of reality. She always seems to have her life in order and rarely if ever seems to be a frantic mess. She is definitely a left brainer.
So the question is… Can we be both? Can we find a middle ground that allows us to do all the things we desire but also keep an organized, secure comfortable life and all the while enjoy every day to the fullest.
I know one thing for certain. It is imperative for us to at some point in life be able to just sit back and enjoy the ride.
We have to remember that we are living now…there may be no tomorrow. As depressing as that may be, it is the truth. We are human beings not human will be’s.
