heeds
Takes to heart
Heeds means pays attention to or takes seriously.
When someone heeds advice, a warning, or a call, they listen and act accordingly: She heeds her doctor's recommendations.
The word implies not just hearing but responding appropriately.
To go unheeded is to be ignored: His warnings went unheeded.
