So all my life, I've been a planner. I planned out my day, what I'm going to say to someone, how things might turn out, and how my future is going to go. I usually tend to plan high stress situation or even things that make me happy, such as dating someone, and I even plan unimportant things as well. But I'm done try to plan my whole life out. All it has seemed to do is cause my disappointment when things don't go exactly how I expected them to. And it hurts. I'm tired of having this extravagant idea in my head to see it shift into something completely different. There's really no need to plan either, when God has my whole future mapped out for me and it's better than anything I could ever imagine.
It just hurts when things take a turn for the worse (or so it may seem). I know a lot of people are probably like me in saying that I plan things out in my head of how things are supposed to be and when it doesn't happen that way, then it must be wrong. I've learned to shift away from this way of thinking, and really, just quit thinking so much and go with my heart.
I think a lot of people, including myself, tend to go with the norm and listen to what their head is saying about how rational or irrational something is. But really we should be listening to our hearts. Because our hearts know the truth, especially if our heart matches up with God's. Sometimes our heart just needs to tell our brain to shut up and let it do the work. Because in my opinion, the heart knows better than the mind. The mind is too scared to do what the heart knows is right due to reason, experience, and pride.
I've seen people walk away from what God has put right in front of them without even knowing it, because they allow their mind to have a bigger voice then their heart. And it kills me. But how do you get through to someone like this? Especially when you've tried so hard but they won't realize their beliefs are wrong and you're tired of falling flat on your face. It hurts even more when it's someone that you care so much about, and just wish they cared about you the same. I guess all you can really do is be a friend and pray that God shows them the way, and stand beside them the entire time. It's hard to do and faith is tested, but just follow your own heart, even if you feel they aren't quite following theirs.
I'm done with listening to my head. It's done nothing but bring forth fear in my life that was unnecessary. I'm starting to take chances and walk outside my comfort zone because it's where my heart is leading me and I'm listening to my heart. It hasn't led me in the wrong direction yet because God has my heart, so in a way, I'm listening directly to him. I pray that everyone learns to quit planning and listening to their head, and take a giant leap of faith and listen to their heart. It will never fail you.
"Its impossible" said pride. "Its risky" said experience. "Its pointless" said reason. "Give it a try" whispered the heart.
