We are disrespectful and cruel to our heart. We do not listen to it. We take it for granted. Who is affected when we use all these idioms like broken hearted, heavy heart, sinking heart, cry your heart out, heart ache? We are. Our heart is ever expanding with emotions and feelings. It contracts with our negative sentiments and responses. Therefore, it is up to us to become self-reflective, aware, and compassionate and reciprocate these feelings to others.

Today, see if you can stretch your heart and expand your love so that it touches not only those to whom you can give it easily, but also to those who need it so much. – Aristotle

The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart. – Rumi

Love as is told by the seers of old,
Comes as the butterfly tipped with gold
Flutters and flies in sunlit skies
Weaving round hearts that were one time cold. – Algernon Charles Swinburne

Let the heart guide you… it whispers, so listen closely. – Walt Disney

Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking. – Khalil Gibran

Don’t let the brain interfere with your heart. – Albert Einstein

If I can one stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain. – Emily Dickinson

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. – Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Dear ones, all these greats know something that is vital for all of us to absorb and understand.

Do we understand our heart? Do we listen to it?
