Follow your heart: Never have I dated a completely normal guy. I’ve had the athlete, the coach’s son, the boy turned singer, the too old, the too young, the too this and the too that… and everytime me and that special guy make things happen, everyone seems to have something to say. If my life was a timeline on twitter #InsertMyNameAndHisNameHere would be a trending topic more than Justin Beiber. If that was step one, it was definitely the hardest step. I hated people in my business, the questions, the comments, and the opinions. I never understood why everyone thought they could pick better dates than me. So I let it rock, tried not to get discouraged, but failed because the words, the negativity, the questions and suspicions all got to me. And instead of following my heart, I listened to my friend’s minds, which is the perfect recipe for disaster.
And through all of that I came up with 5 reasons to follow your heart:
Reason #1: Noone, absolutely no one knows you better than you. And even if you have NO idea what you want, you are definitely a lot closer to figuring it out than anyone else is.
Reason #2: Following your heart may be harder in the beginning, but it’s part of the struggle so that you can prove that you really want something. One of my favorite books is The Alchemist, which tells the story of a boy on a self fulfilling journey. The beginning of every journey or in this case love first there is beginner’s luck, which helps submerse you into your journey aka when boy meets girl and girl realizes she likes him. After beginner’s luck comes a series or obstacles, not to deter you, but to prove that you really want something. So don’t let the first few obstacles be the end, and if you can get through that—who knows what your future holds.
Reason #3: Love is an ultimate search for happiness and completion, if you don’t follow your heart completely that explains the all the voids you have in your life, and you still have some more following to do.
Reason #4: EVERYONE says do it, but no one seems to be taking anyone else’s advice. So for once, do the one thing that you keep hearing. If you can try everything else that is floating around, might as well try something that will actually make you better.
Reason #5: There is a happy ending out there for everyone, but even Cinderella had to lose a shoe first. Follow your heart, because you never know what in your life may turn out to be that lost shoe until your prince charming returns it to you.
And of course I had to throw in the Disney princess reference, and the kissing the frog thing is a little played out (sorry Ms. Tiana). But everytime my best friend went through something, I was always there, to let her know that things happen and there is a conflict before every happy ending. So follow your heart ladies and gentlemen, I can promise you it will take you on a journey like no other…and who wouldn’t want to go on an adventure that ends with love?
