The cost of not following your heart, is spending the rest of your life wishing you had - J. Paulsen
What a quote! And how much truth there is to find in it.
I remeber a time when I had stopped to dream. A time where I was stuck in societies rat race, my own thoughts and limiting beliefs.
I had also stopped to listen to my heart and trust it. Forever my heart had told me to go explore and search for another path.
Over time I couldn’t hear it anymore. I was numb. I had completely lost contact with myself, my dreams and what I wanted in life.
Until I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't accept that happiness seemed to be available for everyone but me.
I made a decision.
It's better to try something new, something different than just accepting to not be ok.
I'd rather try and fail than just being ok with not being ok.
I understood that it was a choice. My choice!
It was therefore my responsibility to make myself happy. No matter what.
It is YOUR responsibility to make yourself happy too!
In my case that meant, quiting everything. House, Job and I even unregistered in Switzerland.
A big leap you think? But is it really when your heart is telling you to go about a dream?
If your heart is telling you to heal, HEAL!
If your heart is telling you to take care of yourself, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!
If your heart is telling you to ask for help, ASK FOR HELP!
If your heart is telling you to try something new, TRY SOMETHING NEW!
If your heart is telling you to invest into yourself, INVEST INTO YOURSELF!
Your heart knows the path to happiness, don't you think?!
In fact it is the most direct line to happiness, not your reasoning mind!
When you feel that spark arising inside of you and you drift away in some imagination of that very dream and BOOOOM, NOTHING!
Your mind has talked you out of it... What if it doesn't work? What if I don't see the results? What if they don't like me?
WHAT IF IT DOES WORK? WHAT IF YOU DO SEE RESULTS? WHAT IF THEY DO LIKE YOU?
It's a choice!
We do not know what's going to happen anway! WE DON'T! No one knows...
Life is full of leaps... all the time. We take a step and then we figure it out. There is nothing else than that!
So, try! Try things!
Try that course you saw and your heart was drawn to!
Try that coaching where you felt a spark arise inside of you!
Try that community that filled you with joy and laughter!
Take bigger leaps and be amazed about the magic you make room for in your life!
Don't be scared, be excited!
New ways bring new experiences and possibilities.
And isn't that where you'd like to live? In the realm of opportunities and chances?
I thought so... but again, it's a choice!
