Poem: Heart and Mind (excerpt)

Out of the heart one acts.

Out of the mind one speaks.

We say what we think, but do what we feel.

The heart must train the mind.

The heart is our lifeline.

The heart is our soul.

Our motivations come from our heart.

Heart believes,

Heart is doing,

Mind is thinking,

Mind is dreaming.

We can think and dream, but unless

We believe it in our heart and our heart is motivated

There is no action.

When you are not motivated

You can only act and do things

Based on the extent of your knowledge.

With motivation

Your heart believes—you can perform well

Outside of the boundaries of your knowledge.
