OUr rhetoric shapes our assumption that thoughts are coming either from head or heart. But the human heart is only a muscle and not the true seat of emotions. Emotions, ideas, perceptions, deductions and conclusions all happen in the same grey organ.
So we make the mistake of assuming that a "truth" has to move from our head to our heart. What we really mean is that we want this idea to take hold in more than just one region of the brain. We want to get emotional about something that is presently only rational. I am much more encouraged to personal change when realizing that it doesn't have to move the 16 inches from head to heart. It doesn't have to go anywhere. I only need to think on it and get excited about it.
