There are two ways of
living your life, either to follow your heart or head. The important question
for you is to find out whether you are listening to your heart and intuition or
just doing what your head says. Head is always practical and it is driven by a
fear that your safety is of utmost importance. It will suggest you ways through
which you will be able to get money which you want or job security and
predictability in your actions. It will caution you with fear whenever you try
to tread an unconventional path. Head will always thwart you by bringing out
fears from your memories and past experiences to prove to you that you should
not ever think of following your heart desire and what you love to do. Your
heart on the other hand will motivate you to follow an unconventional path
which may involve taking certain risks and fear of failure is very high.
Following your heart may not guarantee initial success and it is also possible
that it may involve initial failures and criticism for you also but when you
follow the heart you will feel that you have a sense of satisfaction and peace
as you are listening to your inner voice. Life in my opinion has a real meaning
when you are living it with your heart. Success or failure do not matter as
long as you are connected with your heart but when you excessively live a life
listening to your head, you will feel that there is utter confusion,
dissatisfaction, frustration and loss of meaning. There are many people who
came to me for astrological consultation who are frustrated from their life,
their job, people at work, family etc. They do not recognize one thing that
they have given so many years listening to their head for living their life and
what they have got is a life of misery, frustration and dissatisfaction. They
may have attained some successes in past also but when you live through the
head, it do not recognize such successes because the basic function of mind is
to push you towards more and do not let you enjoy what you have. Mind always
remains satisfied. Satisfaction is the death of mind. Heart on the other side
tends to remain satisfied and feel graceful for whatever it gets. Even if your
dreams fail, you will feel proud that you gave it your all to accomplish them.
Dreamers fail every now and then, but they also learn more in life. You will
also learn from such failures.
Do you know that Steve
Jobs who started Apple was fired from Apple - the company he started from
scratch? At the age of 30, he was fired by the board of directors and it was
devastating for him. He however does not lose faith because he loved what he
did. He listened to his heart and he shared his success in his own words. He
said, “Sometimes life hits you in the head
with a brick. Do not lose faith. I am convinced that the only thing that kept
me going was that I loved what I did. You have got to find what you love. And
that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to
fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do
what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love
what you do. If you have not found it yet, keep looking. Do not settle. As with
all matters of the heart, you will know when you find it. And, like any great
relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep
looking until you find it. Do not settle”. I would also advice you to take some
time to be honest with yourself and go deep inside your heart and find out what
you want from your life. Ask yourself what you love to do and listen to your
heart. It is possible that your heart may have different feeling as compared to
what you are doing in present. Have the courage so that you are able to follow
your heart and intuition. Connect with your heart and do not just daydream.
Initiate changes in your life by listening to your heart. Do a job or business
in which you have an interest and then only you will be able to enjoy it. It is
possible that you may encounter some failure initially but you will learn from
it and it will make you a better person in the future.
