This one's from The Alchemist...by Paulo Coelho...
"Everyone on earth has a treasure that awaits him," his heart said. "We, people's hearts, seldom say much about those treasures, because people no longer want to go in search of them. We speak of them only to children. Later, we simply let life proceed, in its own direction, toward its own fate. But, unfortunately, very few follow the path laid out for them - the path to their destinies, and to happiness. Most people see the world as a threatening place, and, because they do, the world turns out, indeed to be a threatening place.
So, We, their hearts speak more and more softly. We never stop speaking out, but we begin to hope that our words wont be heard: we dont want people to suffer because they dont follow their hearts".
"Why dont people hearts tell them to continue to follow their dreams?" the boy asked the Alchemist.
"Because that's what makes a heart suffer most, and hearts dont like to suffer."
From then on, the boy understood his heart.
