“The best things in life aren't
things”
- By Buchwald, Art
According to me the best thing in life is to "follow your
heart and do what you really want in life". Many times, in the hustle-bustle of
life, we often forgot to listen to our inner feelings and takes decision on the
basis of various logics suggested by our brain. I think it’s anxiety, which
stops us to take decisions on the basis of our heart as the heart is unrestricted and
is driven by emotions on the other hand,mind is practical, rational and is
driven by facts (sometimes FEAR too!!!).
It requires lots of courage, commitment and strength to
follow your heart because it leads us to follow an avant-garde path. After completing my graduation, I was about to
join MBA in one college in Noida but at the same time got admission in one post
graduate course in New Delhi related to Medical sciences. All my friends and
family members advised me to join MBA over that course because being an MBA
means secure and a better career. It also guarantees money and good position in
professional life. Moreover I was not
sure about the job prospects of pure applied science course. But I followed my
heart and joined that applied science course and now I have no regrets about my
decision. I believe that regret is the most painful as well as a powerful
emotion in life.
It could be Regret of not listening to your heart; Regret
of not confessing your emotions; Regret of not following your dreams and so on.
The best way to come out from any regret is to admit/confess it without any
fear of failure/acceptance/rejection.
I don’t know about others, but whenever I start following
my heart, my mind comes into an action and starts bringing up all the reasons
to drop an idea of to do what I desire. It starts reminding me about my past
failures and dare consequences of it. As a result, many a times my mind wins
over my heart.
Several people don’t follow heart because of family and
societal pressure and/ or fear. They pretend that they are happy with what they
have and what they are doing. The best way to find out about real desires in
life is to spend some time alone and dig deep inside and ask yourself what you really
want to do. Be honest with yourself! May be in between you feel confused,
scared but definitely it will help you in the long run as you will come to know
about your actual desires, values , passion and more importantly PURPOSE in
life!!!
Just realized that I have written one page blog post about
“following your heart” but I am not sure whether I follow this mantra
religiously or not!!! Need to analyze that
