Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes we face decisions where we can choose to be logical, or we can follow our feelings. This quote suggests that when you’re stuck between thinking through things logically and listening to your emotions, you should listen to your emotions. Imagine you have a job that pays well, but it doesn't make you happy. Your brain might tell you to stay because it's practical and secure, but your heart might tell you to leave and do something you love even if it pays less. The advice here is to listen to what will make you feel fulfilled and happy in the long run. History gives us an example in the life of many artists. They often follow their passion for art despite the risk of financial instability. They choose to follow their heart's calling rather than the brain's warning about practicalities. This can lead to a more satisfying life because they are doing what they love. Applying this to everyday life, if there’s something you deeply care about, even if it doesn't seem logical at first, trusting your heart can lead to a more meaningful and joyful life. So, the next time you’re torn between what you feel and what you think, consider what will truly make you happy.
