when in doubt, please do

August 23rd, 2003

when in doubt, please do not let yourself be lead or adviced by your mind. i call it your mind, but Jung wouldn’t completely agree with me. somehow you can find yourself be guided by strangers, your folks, some trend, a guru, a magazine, an old ex-girlfriend advice or experience (which is, of course and wilde, a fancy name for our mistakes).

when in doubt, listen to your senses. listen to your stomach, your knees, your mouth and shoulders. listen to your neck, to your veins (mostly those ones on your temples which, in spanish is sien, and comes from an old german sĭnn, to feel). listen to your blood and sweat. even listen to your heart.

at least you’ll know it is what you decided to do, from the innermost meanders of your body and soul.

and if that’s not enough for you, ask yourself a question: do i prefer to be right, or to be happy?

(hint: happy is the right answer)
