Inspired Songwriting: What's On You Heart

Have you ever been asked,  What's on your heart?

We are often asked by well meaning friends "What's on your mind"
 But as artists I believe the more important question is, "What's on your heart?".

WHAT COMES THROUGH?
You see it is what is on your heart that will  undeniably be the thing which
 comes through our art.

DOES IT HAVE LIFE?
We often try to create our art by looking at it from what we "know", 
by drawing from our mind. When we rely mainly on what we think and not look
to how we "feel" our creation comes through to the observer as "flat", lifeless.
 How do we expect others to feel our creation if we don't put 
our feelings into what we create?

IS IT MOVING?
If we desire to "move" others by our creations we must first ask ourselves 
does this move me. If our creations don't move us how can we except to 
move others?

CLOSING THOUGHT
If we don't "feel" our creations, they won't have life.

So, my friend, what is on your heart?
