I often wondered how people could be so sure of themselves.
How they could know down to their core what they wanted to do with their whole
lives. It’s such a big commitment after all. And I am still amazed. However, I
think I’m starting to understand.
I’ve always
loved the idea of following one’s heart, even if it’s cliché. I believe they’re
the wisest words one could say. Your heart is what gives you life; each beat
pumping opportunity and purpose into your bones. So it seems following your
heart is the right thing. Cause where your heart is, there your life will be too.
I think
many of us feel scared to follow our hearts. We decide logic is the best
possibility, which it can be. But logic doesn’t know how to bring forth or
understand joy and peace and fulfillment. Those belong solely to the heart.
Because we follow our brains, many of us end up in places that are subpar.
Places that do not satisfy the deepest longings of our souls. Of our hearts.
Perhaps because we don’t know where our hearts would lead us. We don’t know, so
we stay. But, don’t.
Follow your
passion. Follow your heart. Believe me, there are people who want to be doing
that job, who want to live in that town. That is their passion, and they’ve got
it, so you don’t have to. Leave those things to the people who gain life from
them. Go find your passion. Find the thing that gives you breath. The thing
that gives you life.
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life... have the courage to follow your heart." -Steve Jobs
