When we make choices based on the deep and instinctual “knowing” felt in our gut or heart, we tend to find the path that is most beneficial. With that said, I know what you’re thinking… You’re thinking about when you followed your heart and it lead you down a horrible road. You’re going to say that in fact, you should have been listening to logic.
The difficult part is distinguishing between the wise voice inside which speaks the truth and the voice that keeps us from taking risks and following the passion in our hearts. The incessant talk in our head can often mislead us, but following our heart can get us hurt. Both can influence our sense of fulfillment.
So how do you listen to you heart without ignoring logic? Look at the core of what motivates you. What is it that really inspires you? In other words, find the means that make you happy and then don’t worry so much about the outcome.
If your intuition is speaking to you, then ask yourself “how would I feel if I tried and failed?” If you can answer that it would be worth it, then listen to your heart and mind.
