Welcome to the Jenni Carroll Perspective. Today we explore a way to look at ourselves and our relationships with others from a different vantage point. As an alternative to our typical egocentric, personality-driven perspective, we will consider approaching the world from a heart-centered perspective.

In general, we tend to operate from an ego-centered perspective where the internal narrative of who we believe ourselves to be serves as the foundation to all of our choices and interactions with others. This personality-driven perspective is closely connected to the thoughts and feelings of our thinking brain. Unfortunately, when we rely too heavily on our ego perspective and our thinking brain, we miss out the on wisdom, clarity and peace that is always available to us.

In contrast, a heart-centered perspective doesn’t rely on thinking mind thoughts and feelings. In fact, the heart carries an intelligence of its own. The heart understands that we are more than our human selves and that our personalities serve only as costumes we wear. While necessary to function, these costumes also hide our truest, most authentic and enduring selves. Unlike the brain, the heart doesn’t struggle with feelings and thoughts that are negative. The heart carries a purity of emotion, which we understand as love.

When we shift from a personality-driven perspective to a heart-centered perspective everything changes. We begin to understand and connect to both our Intrinsic Worth, the innate value present from birth and not dependent on who we are or what we do, as well as our Primary Awareness. Primary Awareness is the innate wisdom that offers us information, direction and peace and is always available to us. When we are no longer distracted by our confusion, worry and indecision we begin to notice the subtle power that resides within us.

Approaching life with a heart-centered perspective also diminishes the fear we carry, the deepest motivator of all negative thought and emotion. We begin to see our relationships with others in a powerfully different way.

Many of us are understandably skeptical of the necessary changes that come with living from a heart-centered perspective. It is okay to be skeptical, but there is much value in an open mind and a willingness to consider that our personality-driven perspective may be limited and holding us back.

We can begin our desired shift with just observing... noticing and being present with what is currently happening in our lives, while at the same time maintaining some distance. It is also critical to be willing to regularly explore our deeper selves. The good news is we don’t need to chase perfection. In fact, stepping into our heart, even occasionally, has the power to dramatically change our lives.
