In the pursuit of happiness, we make one of two mistakes: we either go against our mind, or we go against our heart.
🧠 We go against our mind when we attempt to “fix” a situation that has proven time and time again that it won’t change – which means that the change we seek which will bring us happiness is within us, not outside of us.
🫀 We go against our heart when we attempt to intellectualise or “tame” our emotions instead of accepting them as they are – the compass that can guide us back to our joy should we stop and listen to our feelings and what they’re trying to show us.
What’s standing in the way of your happiness today? And do you need to use your mind, or your heart to overcome the obstacle?
