Follow your heart

Each one of us must have taken some decision in life that seemed illogical and irrational at the onset. Your intelligence may have put a question mark on that decision. Still, you decided to follow your heart. It took lot of courage to do so because friends must have ridiculed you for considering that decision. Yet, you decided that no matter what, you will do it. Then at the end you come out as a winner. You proved everyone wrong. You defied logic and yet you succeeded in achieving what you wanted to.
I strongly believe in taking decisions based on gut feeling rather than logic. Logical thinking is definitely helpful but at times it limits you. Life is full of examples where people have overcome physical disabilities to achieve great things in life. They did it because they had a heart felt desire to do so. If they would have relied on logic they would have held on to their crutches for life.
My personal experience in terms of following my heart has been good. On the work front I joined those companies which appealed to my heart. These firms may not have been well known but they helped me to create a distinct identity for myself. I took up responsibilities that logically would seem foolish but those very responsibilities helped me to learn and explore my intellect. I also realized that when I tried to analyze logically I was restricting myself to take up responsibilities based on what I have done in the past. I became sceptical about venturing into unknown territories. At the same time following my heart helped me to look beyond the horizon. I would compare logical reasoning to gravity. It would help you to keep your feet grounded. Yet, when you have to reach for the sky, you need to have wings that help you fly. Consider your gut feeling as those wings that will take you to greater heights than what you could have imagined.

My advice to everyone would be that don’t rely heavily on logic and reasoning. Yes, you do need to apply your brain in decision making. However, when your heart directs you to take a different path; don’t ignore it. Please be assured that you will not regret the decision taken by following your heart.

Do keep writing..ur words really have some magic.. :)
So now everyone knows whom I was referring to when I made this statement:
"Then I asked one of my newly found friend and someone who appreciated my blog to suggest some topics. She said follow your heart. "
ur blog makes me remind of that song ...of jane tu ya jane na...
dil ki yehi khatta hai,dil ko nahi pata hai...yeh dil chahta hai kya!!..
I appreciate your imagination about the way you relate my blog to a song.
Keep up the good work.
Nice to know that you agree with me.
:-)
your blog reminds me of these lines..
"If there ever was a "driver's seat" that should be steering your soul then the Heart is the "driver's seat" of the Soul.
&
If there ever was one concept that would never steer you wrong, it would be: "Follow Your Heart!!!"
Good piece of work! :-)
