The movie Beauty and the Beast depicts how a humble young lady raised by her single father, who loves to keep to herself and read books, who has a heart of gold and is compassionate, empathetic and sympathetic towards people falls in love with the polar opposite. She finds herself in a castle with a Beast who is mean and pretentious, who was raised in royalty to be selfish and inconsiderate, and who had no compassion or empathy for others. Yet with the contradicting personalities and characteristics they still seemed to find love. In spite of her feeling imprisoned and not wanting to be there her heart led her to stay, originally to take the place for her father’s freedom then evidentially because she saw beyond the hard, ugly exterior of the beast. At one point Belle and the Beast just couldn’t see eye to eye and she decided to follow her mind and leave. In the course of her escape her heart began to speak louder and she decided to stay. Through this she got to really see past the Beasts’ outward shell and she saw his heart and the human that lay beneath on the inside. During the course of her stay at the castle she continuously had a battle between her mind and her heart. Her mind was letting her see the reality of the current situation but her heart was encouraging her to see the reality of what it could be with a little more patience and love. In the end the heart words were loud enough to triumph. So often in real life we find ourselves fighting the same battle as Belle. Our mind tells us to cut our loses, move on and invest in ourselves or someone worth putting our investments in. In the meantime our heart tells us but we love them, we’ve hung in there this long just hang in there a little while longer things will get better and change. Sometimes are heart is right and often times it’s wrong. In Belle’s case her heart was right, but if she’d listened to her mind would that have been wrong or would it have just led her down another possibly “right” path. Going down a right path is always a GREAT thing but is every right path right for us? Which should we listen too, our hearts or our minds? An everyday battle that I find myself in whether it’s work related, personal or spiritual……

In the end they both speak and both have wisdom from past and present experiences, so maybe the best thing is to pray that the heart and mind gets on one accord so they begin to speak the same language…..
