Every person is a story to tell. We humans, we are strange creatures aren't we? There's not one individual even
similar to you or your sister, mom, friend, and even thought sometimes it feels
and seems like there's someone out there just like you, we soon enough find out
that's not quite true. We come across many obstacles while being rational and
emotional beings, mainly because our mind and our ''heart's mind'' quite often
don't find one common language. Often we ask ourselves what to do and who to
listen. Those more rational ones will say ''I'm gonna listen to my brain,
because it's The Brain, period.'' and those whose emotions are sometimes
stronger will say ''Yes, the brain is the smart one, but it's the heart that's
feeling empty when making the wrong decision, so when it pumps for something
it's gotta be that.'' It's a hard choice, every time we have to decide, no
matter how small or insignificant the choice may be. When in doubt, we come to
other people for help, we want their piece of heart and piece of mind to answer
the questions not ment for them to answer. This also often leads to disasters
because other people are not us. They don't go to sleep with the same problems
we are, they don't know all the side lines of the problem, they don't have to
deal with the consequences. It's our human nature to search the answers in all
the wrong places. ''No one is you and that is your super power.'' Other people
can give you advice, but no one can answer questions for you, no one can tell you
what's right and what's wrong for you even your closest ones because even
thought they are your closest, they're NOT YOU even thought their advice is
golden and they sure do want what's best for you, sometimes you just need to
listen to your own advice. It's you you're gonna have to live with for the rest
of your life, your decisions, your consequences and your wandering mind and
your thirsty heart every time you wake up in the morning. You're gonna have to
work at that job or for that person, you're gonna have to take care of that
person you're living with and drive that car you choose, go to that place and
live there because you decided to. Not your friends, or your parents, or your
therapist or professor. You and you alone. So don't search for the answers in
all the wrong places. Listen to others, but listen to yourself also and remember
that the best teachers are ones who tell you where to look, but not what to
find. And when it comes to the heart mind problem, well.. Egyptians believed
that the heart is the organ that holds the mind and the soul of one individual
all together and even thought all of the organs were removed while embalming,
they left the heart inside. Isn't there something in that? Until next time, sea
of love, S. ________________________________________________________________________________________________
Svaka osoba je priča za ispričati. Mi ljudi, doista smo
čudna bića, nismo li? Ne postoji niti jedna individua imalo slična tebi, tvojoj
sestri, mami, prijatelju i iako se ponekada čini kao da postoji netko poput
nas, brzo saznajemo da to nije tako istinito. Nailazimo na mnoge prepreke dok
postojimo kao racionalna i emotivna bića, prvenstveno zato to naš um i ''um
našega srca'' često ne pronalaze jedan zajednički jezik. Često se pitamo što
trebamo napraviti i koga da slušamo. Oni malo racionalniji će reći ''Slušat ću
mozak jer je to ''The Mozak'' i točka.'' a oni kojima su emocije ponekada
snažnije reći će ''Da, mozak je onaj pametni, ali srce je ono koje se osjeća
prazno kada donesem krivu odluku, pa kada kuca za nešto to mora biti to.''
Teško je svaki puta kada moramo odlučiti, bez obzira na to koliko malen i
beznačajan izbor može biti. Kada smo u sumnji, odlazimo drugim ljudima kako bi
nam pomogli, želimo njihov dio srca i uma da odgovore na pitanja koja nisu namijenjena
za njih da ih odgovore. Ovo također vodi do katastrofa jer drugi ljudi nisu mi.
Oni ne legnu spavati s istim problemom kao mi, oni ne znaju sve sporedne linije
problema, oni se ne moraju nositi s posljedicama. U našoj je ljudskoj prirodi
da tražimo odgovore na svim krivim mjestima. ''Nitko nije ti i to je tvoja
super moć.'' Drugi ljudi nam mogu dati savjet, ali nitko ne može odgovoriti na
pitanja za nas, nitko nam ne može reći što je ispravo a što ne za nas, čak ni
naši najbliži jer bez obzira na to što su nam najbliži, oni NISU MI i iako je
njihov savjet zlatan i doista žele najbolje za nas, nekada jednostavno trebamo
saslušati vlastiti savjet. Mi smo ti koji moramo živjeti sami sa sobom do kraja
života, sa svojim odlukama, svojim posljedicama i svojim lutajućim umom i
žednim srcem svaki puta kada se probudimo ujutro. Morat ćemo raditi taj posao,
ili za tu sobu, morat ćemo se brinuti za tu osobu s kojom živimo i voziti taj
auto koji smo odabrali, otići na neko mjesto i živjeti tamo jer smo tako
odlučili. Ne naši prijatelji, ne naši roditelji, ni naš psihijatar ili
profesor. Mi i mi sami. Zato ne trebamo tražiti odgovore na svim pogrešnim
mjestima jer se pravo mjesto nalazi tamo gdje smo mi, unutar. Saslušajmo druge
ali i sebe i zapamtimo da su najbolji učitelji oni koji nam kažu gdje tražiti
ali ne i što pronaći. A kada je u pitanju problem srca i uma, pa..Egipćani su vjerovali kako je srce organ koji
drži na okupu um i dušu pojedinca i iako su sve organe vadili van tijekom
balzamiranja, ostavljali su srce unutar tijela. Nema li nešto u tome? Do
sljedećeg posta, more ljubavi, S.
