Feel

It is said that you feel with your heart not with your brain. Biologically speaking you have emotion through your brain. It’s just a way of seeing your thoughts: some are rational and some are feelings; some are realistic and in some you are really involved.
At any given moment you can choose how to deal with your thoughts. As I have said before it’s about attitude. Now I may add the hope. Always you hope for the best thing for you and when this thing vanishes, the rational and the emotional interact. Maybe this is where emotions are borne. Now you really feel that you are alive and you are not living in a dream.
How can there be two totally different things in the same place? How can they exist and interact when one is the opposite of the other one? Rational and emotional makes us alive. It is said that the rational part is the magic of the human being and the emotional is the instinct present in any life form. Maybe this is the uniqueness of a human life: the rational tells you to survive and preserve and the emotional teaches you to cry and to smile, to lie and to enjoy.
But the greatest part is not that. The greatest part is how you manage them to coexist in you. Consciously you cannot control your thoughts (rational or emotional thoughts). You can choose from them; you can choose which are good for you and which you want to follow. Maybe this is the attitude that I have mentioned before. The act of choosing gives you the power to live your life and not just watch you life.
The choosing process it’s not a mathematical one.... or maybe it is. By choosing you select your path according to your principles, your needs and your goals; you tell yourself that you will listen to some particular thoughts and the rest of them are just dust in the wind and forget about them.

Attitude means choosing. Choosing means change. Changing means cheese. WHAT would you do if you weren’t afraid?

Are you able to choose to make things happen? Are you able to wish, to hope?
