Heart over Mind


We’ve all heard the saying “Mind over Matter” in other words, if you keep thinking about going to the bathroom, the more you will need to go. And we’ve all heard that determination stems from the mind. Doing something even when people tell you “you can’t,” or “you shouldn’t” because its dangerous, or just because they don’t think you can do it.

Just recently my car broke down and for the next while I will be taking the bus to work. Tuesday morning, I woke up late for work and decided to ride my bike to the bus stop. While waiting for the much-delayed bus I contemplated riding my bike all the way to work. In this contemplation I phoned my trusted adviser (my mother) and asked her if there was a faster way for me to reach work *cough* Über *cough, cough* after a straight up NO because it costs more than two bus fares; despite the ultra safe and comfortable qualities Über has to offer. Nonetheless, as a struggling professional I went the economically safe route and took the bus; skipping breakfast/lunch and forgetting my badge to enter the building I work in at home. After a shorter than usual day’s work, I packed up my things and got my bike from the basement warehouse. After reaching the bus stop my mind immediately went to riding my bike all the way home. I remembered my mom telling me to just take the bus, with my brother popping in a few times telling me which bus to take, discouraging me out of care and concern from riding my bike all the way. And I thought to myself, all the reasons they gave were to not ride my bike to work, but not back from work. So as Taylor Swift’s chart busting song goes I decided to “shake it off” and I began my expedition of 17.8 kilometers all the way home.
