¿La Razón o El Corazón para Decidir ? (ENG/ESP)

Many times we see ourselves in the dilemma at the moment of making a decision, if we pay attention to the reason of what is right, or if on the contrary we are guided by what our feelings or our heart dictates.

But really everything will depend on the magnitude of what can affect us or favor the step to take, to execute the decision to choose the best way, but what must be clear is that everything must be focused on the search of our welfare and not to harm anyone.

In my opinion we must listen to our conscience, look inside ourselves for the answers, because sometimes we are guided by sentimentalism that in the end may end up disadvantaging us and when we realize that the decision was not the most ideal it is often too late, this applies to any situation of everyday life or any personal relationship (partner, children, family, colleagues, friendship) that may impact our growth.

Muchas veces nos vemos en la disyuntiva al momento de tomar una decisión, si hacerle caso a la razón de lo que es correcto, o si por el contrario nos guiamos por lo que dicta nuestro sentimientos o nuestro corazón.

Pero realmente todo dependerá de la magnitud de lo que nos puede afectar o favorecer el paso a tomar, para ejecutar la decisión a escoger por el camino más acertado, pero lo que si debe quedar claro es que todo debe enfocarse en la búsqueda de nuestro bienestar y el de no perjudicar a nadie.

En mi opinión debemos escuchar a nuestra conciencia, buscar en nuestro interior las repuestas, ya que en ciertas ocasiones nos guiamos por sentimentalismos que al final pueden terminar por desfavorecernos y cuando nos damos cuenta que la decisión no fue la más idónea muchas veces es demasiado tarde, esto aplica a cualquier situación de la vida cotidiana o cualquiera relación personal ( pareja , hijos, familia compañeros, amistad ) que pueda impactar en nuestro crecimiento.

Many of these decisions at this time in my beautiful country are focused on whether it is more convenient to emigrate or not, but everything will obviously depend on the personal context of each person. I see with astonishment how 16 of my mother-in-law's 26 grandchildren have embarked on the adventure or perhaps the frustration of having to leave in search of a better future. All of them are young and professionals with dreams and goals that they want to accomplish and unfortunately at this time they cannot do it in the country. This is a reality that strikes many Venezuelan homes.

Yesterday I had to say goodbye to another niece, another granddaughter, another daughter, who confessed to me that she felt stagnant at a personal and professional level but at the same time she was in the dilemma of leaving or not, because it meant that her mother would be left alone without her support as the only daughter who was by her side, it meant that it could be the last time she would see her grandmother, who was so dear to her, It could mean many things, but even in that difficulty she decided to leave because her life could not stop, because she felt that her personal aspirations were stagnant and without flow, because by leaving she could help her mother with a better livelihood and a better quality of life, that is when reason prevails over the heart, this is just one example of many that can be cited.

I wonder when will it be the turn of one of my children to take flight? It is hard. I admire each person who ventures to a radical change of life, far from their country and far from their greatest affections, the cases are multiple, each one for a very personal reason but all in search of hope, it is not easy. Mothers saying goodbye to their children and in some cases it is the mothers who have the difficult decision to leave to feed their children who remain here in the care of a relative. Life itself will often confront us to put in a balance the sentimental and the rational, it is up to each one to decide which way he/she wants to incline it.
