Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction.

Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction.

Are you confused by which path in life you should take?
Do you find yourself at crossroads, like a deer in the headlights, unable to choose which of your options would be the best? In that moment of frozen confusion, how do you know how to make the right decision?
The answer is found in the heart. Deep within, we inherently just know what we are most desirous of doing.
Your heart sings out when you contemplate that option.
Then fear, responsibility, duty, insecurity and other foes take over, creating that panic moment.
The right choice is very seldom the easiest choice. Procrastination is easy. Deciding takes courage.
Deciding which of the myriad options you are best suited in pursuing, requires a prerequisite ability to forecast the many potential outcomes of such options, and from those collected scenarios, are you best able to choose your best course of action.
Following your heart can be very dangerous, for a host of reasons.
That said, it is exactly for those reasons that we feel the greatest joy in the accomplishment of such a feat of courage and determination.
When we weigh the prospects of living a life, unfulfilled, against the promises of a heart-driven desire come true, we are left with solely the subjective perspective that we feel at that core moment in life. That perspective is ultimately what you have internally to navigate your next move.
You may opt to consult others, as is in many cases, a very wise choice. But even after all of your research, consultation, projections, expectations, fears and dreams, you are still at the crossroads.
I could not imagine not living a life in which I am continuously running in the direction that my heart dictates.
It is not always the easiest, nor most predictable road on which to travel, but when it pays off…. Nothing else in life compares.
Happy Sunday!
