Monitor Your Heart
Jan 12, 2025 • CJ Gonzalez
There are three habits to ensure that the self you’re living with is the self on display, and that what people see is
what they’re actually getting. Life is hard on our souls and our inner selves. Healthy souls, if unattended to,
become unhealthy. Nothing gets better when left unattended. It’s why we wake up, look in the mirror, and start
attending to things like our appearance, performance, and reputation. We’re quick to attend to our exterior lives
because people are watching, and we’re competing for approval. But there’s only one person who has the
ability or responsibility to be attentive to your soul and monitor the condition of your heart—you.
THE BIG IDEA: The state of your heart drives the story of your life.
