I have been searching for a long time for a proper analogy to describe the push and pull between the heart and the mind. I heard one the other day that describes the necessity for the head and the heart to be aligned in order to make any progress in life. It describes the ability for a human being to change.
There is an elephant and a person riding this elephant along a designated path. The path represents the direction your life is going and the direction that your life and attitude have developed. The rider represents your brain and your logic. The elephant represents your emotions.
With this picture, try and imagine the rider trying to turn the elephant off the path in a different direction that you know is better for you or that you simply want to make. There is about as much success as a result of this as people who attempt to change because they think they should, but don't want to. That being said, when the elephant wants to turn and the rider wants to as well....That is a powerful force.
