I sat down to watch one of Disney’s all-time blockbuster Aladdin with the kids. As we watched, a line from the lyric stuck to me. Mind you, this wasn’t my first time seeing Aladdin, but somehow my head wove around the words and I was lost in its powerful hemispheral.

As Aladdin and his newly found love explored the beauty of nature on the magic carpet gasping in the freedom they just discovered, I wondered what it really means to let your heart decides. Let your heart decides.

Hear me out, I wasn’t talking about the butterfly the wretched Aladdin had in his stomach when he met the princess or the trials lurking above their love. Oh no, far from it. I was deeply motivated by the heart and its desires, what it chooses and how it happens.
