Maintaining Balance Between Head & Heart

Its a delicate balance that most of us fail to maintain.


In our interactions with others, we sometimes only use the head, i.e., my logic.  Yes, that does bring us to a logical level and enables us to understand the facts very clearly.  But if you keep myself limited only to the facts, you tend to forget to use your heart.  Then we are not available to the other person and fail to understand them.


So, what's the solution?

In order to be successful in all our interactions with others,  have the right balance between your head and my heart. See beyond the facts, say and try to listen and understand the other person too.  When you do this you will not hurt people with your attitude but will be able to maintain harmonious relationships.

Very well stated...this is so true..a balance of the heart and head..along with our souls...I totally agree...if only more would give it a try.

Thank you for sharing a very simple but very true and important thought with us.

Love and peace and let's stop the wars now! I have and will be dedicating my blog (for a while) to peace and love and to stop the wars now!

Thanks for bringing it out though

Cheers!
