Heart Over Head

“When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion.”

Heart Over Head
Inspiring Connection - Dale Carnegie Quote

Humans don’t live their lives by logic alone - we process and react emotionally, from the heart. When we want to connect with others, it’s essential to appeal to their feelings, probably more than their reasoning. This truth is especially powerful when advocating for our rights. Emotional stories and shared experiences - like a mother’s fight to help her child navigate struggles with a playground bully, a situation many parents can relate to - often resonate more deeply than statistics about kids being picked on for having Queer parents. These heartfelt connections help us build stronger cases and create lasting impact.
