the longest journey

True contentment and serenity are matters of the heart. We cannot think them into place; try as we might. Everyone needs to make some changes from time to time to cure what ails us. Genuine change begins in the mind but has to travel down to the heart to have lasting impact. The behavior follows the thinking. It's been said that the longest journey is the 18 inches between the head and the heart. Intellectual knowledge turned into emotional wisdom is where real progress and breakthroughs are made. It's not enough to know it; we have to experience it for it to be real to us.
