There’s a voice in all of us that says, “If it feels right, it must be right.” It’s seductive—because instinct is immediate, raw, and effortless. But feelings, while powerful, aren’t always truthful. They echo hunger, fear, desire—but not always wisdom. Following every emotion might feel like freedom, but it’s a leash disguised as liberation. We admire lions for their strength, wolves for their loyalty, birds for their freedom. But none of them ask why they live. None of them ponder purpose or fight temptation. They follow instinct because they can’t do otherwise. But you can. That’s what makes you human. Not your power, but your ability to choose what’s right even when it’s hard. Freedom isn’t doing what you feel—it’s knowing when not to. True freedom lies not in obeying nature, but in mastering it. That’s the sacred tension of being human: having the power to feel like an animal, but the soul to act like a saint. Holiness isn’t the absence of desire—it’s the triumph of truth over it. Me saying, “Why fight what I feel?” But bro says: “Animals follow instinct. You were made to follow truth.” Credit: @saint.steps.app on Insta #philosophy #psychology #christian #becomebetter #mindset #motivation #inspirational #selfimprovement #journey #discipline #peace #mentalhealth #workhard #dreams #qoutes #inspiration #short #shorts #shortvideo #shortsvideo #bible #dailyencouragement #truth
