“Don’t allow your mind to tell your heart what to do. The mind gives up easily”

Paulo Coelho

Simplified Meaning:

When making decisions, don't just listen to your thoughts and logic. Sometimes, thinking too much can make you give up quickly because your brain looks for the easiest way out and is afraid of risks or failure. Instead, listen to your feelings and passions, as they can give you the strength and courage to keep going, even when things get tough. For example, imagine someone wants to start a small business. Their mind might tell them all the reasons why it could fail, like potential financial problems or competition. If they only listen to these thoughts, they might decide not to try at all. But if they follow their heart's passion and excitement for the business idea, they might find the motivation to overcome obstacles and work hard to make it succeed. In life, balancing mental caution with heartfelt determination can help you pursue your dreams and not give up too easily when facing challenges.
