From his early childhood until the day he died, St. John of God was known as someone who followed every impulse of his heart. 

The challenge for him was to rush to follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit gave him, not his own human temptations. But unlike many who act impulsively, when John made a decision, no matter how quickly, he stuck with it, no matter what the hardship.
