We form an emotional [Em] brain long before we form a rational one, [G] and a beating heart before either.

[A] You're dead to the clarity of decision making and true peace that [D] comes from following your heart.

[A] Jim Carrey said, so many of us choose our path out of [D] fear disguised as practicality.
As a society, [A] we are so conditioned to conform to society's standards,
[D] which discourages us from following our intuition, from following our heart.
[A] We take the practical road because it is safe, less risky.
[D] But when we suppress the desire to act on divine inspiration,
we [Bm] build up tension so great in our soul [A] that we begin to experience lower [D] states of emotion,
including depression, anxiety, and disappointment.
[Bm] We miss our [A] path.
And for what?

What will the effects of long [E]-term suppression be [A] versus the effects of short-term acceptance by friends, [D] family, and society?
Each of [E] us is [A] gifted with talents and skills which can be identified [E] by looking at the things we [D] are passionate about and inspired to do.
[E] By suppressing [A] and turning away from these passions and impulses,
[E] we are denying the divine access to powerful creation [A] that exists inside all of us.
We are all here for a purpose, [D] and that purpose sometimes does not, at least initially, look so [A] practical.
It must be felt within the heart.
You [D] always have the answers inside you.
