The Heart of the Matter
Where we find ourselves and answers
I believe, “The heart of the matter is the easement of the soul.
Getting to what’s important brings comfort instead of skimming the edges where we can fall keeping us away from the essential parts of a decision or situation.
We can find ourselves not acknowledging the importance of something or someone. We sit on a throne thinking we know it all downsizing even the gravity of a dilemma. We may do so because we fear the answer or don’t want to face reality.
We change and move away from what’s real in order to be like someone else or please others giving them what they want or want to hear. It’s like being caught in a vise not knowing which way to turn, think, or what to decide.
Sometimes we have to let go and let live. Other times we need to take a step back and see it from a distance in order to get closer to what matters most.
We should or must ask ourselves, “What gives? What’s wrong? What’s important?”
What brings us to our feelings — why we are stumped or stuck? Asking ourselves what’s wrong brings out the truth or what’s right. What’s important shows us the heart of what we are doing or what’s happening. It’s the essential part of knowing what matters.
