The wise men of yore had it right.

Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all – Aristotle.

Let’s face it. In todays corporations we like to consider ourselves “business like” and “professional” and prefer to ignore that we are working with human beings and that everyone has feelings and a very human heart- sometimes sensitive and sometimes strong. 

So on the occasion of  the universally celebrated Valentine’s day, let’s look at the proverbial elephant in the Corporate Boardroom that everyone is trying to ignore. This matter of Heart.

Infact, while we are at it, lets look at the entire herd of stomping elephants because there are many hearts in there, each pounding to the beat of a different drummer.

Goals are dreams with deadlines – Diana Scharf Hunt

You may have heard that to get anywhere in life it is important to set goals, because  without goals we could easily lose our way.

Be sure to take the most direct route to your dreams. Never take your eyes off your goal, or you will lose course. Never look back in sorrow, or you will trip – Joe Brown

I have heard it said that there are those who travel and those who are going somewhere. They are quite different and yet are somewhat the same in the actions they take. Some wander and some move purposefully towards a destination.

People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.
Earl Nightingale

Welcome to the New Year !  And with every New Year I am reminded of one of my favourite quotes by William Ernest Henley (1849-1902)  in his poem Invictus :

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll
I am the Master of my fate,
I am the Captain of my Soul!

Well, a fine captain of your soul you would be if you let your ship drift with every passing wind and sink under every storm that you encounter in a hope to get to shore. Would you not rather chart a course that will take you in the direction you want to go to your destination?

Listen to your heart – it is the surest indicator of what is working or not in your life and relationships.
The old adage of “when in doubt, don’t” is simply another tried and tested way of putting it.
Because your heart never doubts what is right for you.
