Follow Your Heart
Someone once told me, “When you follow your heart, the choices you make will always be the right ones.” It’s natural to doubt yourself at times. We all like to seek the advice of others or ask someone to validate our choices and decisions. But remember, that no one can make your choices for you. What you do with your life is your own decision. How you decide to live your life and achieve your dreams or goals is up to you. Mistakes will be made, but that is part of the learning process. In fact, our mistakes can be some of our biggest teachers. Looking back on life, there will be many choices and decisions that turned out great, and lots that did not turn out so great. If you’re like most people, however, what you’ll probably find is that the decisions made when you chose to follow your heart will have led you to some of the best adventures, relationships, and accomplishments. So, today and every day – listen to your head – but follow your heart.
Something To Think About
Why do we second guess our decisions, or doubt our ability to make the right decision, without someone else to confirm it? Perhaps it’s just a habit that began many years ago. Perhaps it’s time for a new habit.
