Each of us shares at least one common characteristic - we all have a mind and a heart. Although we often use these two words, their definitions and thus their power to influence our lives can be quite diverse. This article aims to investigate exactly this relationship.

So let us start with the mind, which is often also called the rational mind. The mind is our tool of analyzing our past and present. It tells us what is good and what is bad based on our experience. The keyword here is experience. The mind only knows the things it has experience of. For everything else it simply says: "I don't think that is safe, I have not experienced it yet." Another keyword here would be safe - the mind always wants to be safe and protect us from disappointment, failure, danger and any other connected negative emotions. But is the mind holding us back from something else in the meantime?

On the other hand, we have the heart. The heart is supposed to be the irrational party, the dreamer. If the mind is looking to the past, then the heart is looking to the future. The heart is focused on future possibilities to pursue one's dreams and desires. If one's experience is stocked in the mind, then it would be fair to say that one's desires are stocked in the heart. The heart wants to fulfill these desires, it wants to try new things, and in doing so it is not afraid of failure, disappointment, pain or any other negative emotions. It is blind to them and sees only possibility for something bigger.

So, in these two we have a great struggle. Every person can feel this struggle in themselves. For example, you want to quit your regular job and start your own business. In such a case it would be your heart, which is dragging you to realize this dream and on the other hand it would be your mind, which would tell you to stick to what you already have. Your heart says: "Come on, let's show them what you can do, let's take it to the top!" Your mind, on the other hand, opposes: "But what if you fail? You have never done this before, why do you think that you can succeed? Better lay low."

So whose advice are you going to listen to? It goes without saying that most people heed to the advice of the mind and stick to what they have, although they might dislike it. After all, they already have that. And what about the heart? It is more often than not left betrayed. But in case you want to give power to your heart, then it would be a good idea to study some more about the Law of Attraction. There are some great programs, which will allow you to utilize the power of the heart to help you realize your desires. Just check out the link below.
