Admit it or not, we all believed in one thing while growing up. I mean, we have this mindset that never changed until now. In this article, I will share with you the mindset I have while growing up.
Being a child means we are still dependent to our parents or family, and to the lessons they want us to learn about. We always listen to what they are saying and the teachings that they want to root deep in our minds. I grew up listening to my Mama. I was an obedient child and I am not ashamed of that. I do whatever she says before, until now. There are a lot of things that I learned from her. And she made me have the mindset that I have until now...
"Use your heart, but not as much as you use your brain."
These were the exact words she told me before. At first, I did not understand the meaning of it. She kept on telling me these words, like she wanted me to keep it in my mind always. She is rooting for me to have that kind of mindset.
She succeed. That is the mindset I have until now. I remember when she told me, "kapag puso ang pinairal mo, matatalo ka" (English translation: if you will use your heart, you will lose). There was a message behind that. She wanted me to learn how to protect my self, or limit the things that I will do for love.
Growing up, I have seen the messages behind her teachings. I understood what she wanted me to believe. She wanted me to be ready in the cruelty of people, and the reality of life. I remember the moment when I looked at the mirror and stared at my reflection. I told myself the exact words she told: use your heart, but not as much as you use your brain. I have to be careful with everything and not let my emotions kill me.
The kind of mindset I have while growing up was to learn how to think before making a decision. I should balance using my brain and my heart. My Mama was not wrong at all. I have seen people who regrets in doing things because they did not think about it. I have seen people cry over something just because they did not decide carefully. That is when I realized that people should learn on how to balance making decisions that what their heart says and also what their brain thought about carefully. They should go both ways. For me, before making a decision, internalize first and ask questions to yourself. Will it make you happy or not? Can you bare the consequences when if you failed? Are you ready for it?
In case you are bad at thinking carefully before you decide on doing things, it is the right time to reconsider. And like what my Mama told me, use your heart but not as much as you use your brain.

I don't have someone while growing up. My parents were separated and I grew up in my Lola's care. Although anjn ang lola ko, sa dmi ng anak nya, di din masyado napapansin kami.so basically lahat ng natutunan ko in life is based on my experience. And I had to admit medyo nega ang mindset ko noon because of what i had experienced in life. But it changed a lot when I became a mother.
