I’ll be happy to share my thoughts, Mario:

When people (the Bible) say "you are what is in your heart," they are using "heart" as a metaphor, not talking about the physical muscle that pumps blood.

In this context, "heart" refers to our feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and values. It is the deepest part of who we are.

Our heart symbolizes our emotions. How we feel about ourselves and others comes from our heart. If we feel love, kindness, and joy, that's what's in our heart.

The heart also represents our beliefs and what we truly value in life. For example, if we believe in honesty and kindness, those values are part of our heart.

What’s in our heart influences how we act and make choices. It’s why the other saying goes “Listen to your heart.” If we have good things in our heart, we tend to do good things. Conversely, if our heart is filled with negative feelings or beliefs, it can lead us to unhealthy behaviors.

So, when people say "you are what is in your heart," they mean that your true self is shaped by your feelings, thoughts, and beliefs. It’s a way of saying that what you truly value and feel deeply influences who you are and how you live your life.

I hope this explanation clarifies the statement “You are what’s in your heart.”

Thank you so much for reading and for engaging with me. I love that 🤍
