Follow your heart !!!!!!!

We all are born with freedom and as an independent individual. This is a story of my friend which I feel is common to many people like us. As a new born baby I have the total freedom and independence of my life. There is no one who will govern me or I need to think of their emotions which the life is made up off. As I do not know when I am born what all emotions does the life holds. I just follow my heart as I sleep whenever I want, I eat whenever I want, I smile whenever I want, I cry whenever I want, people are always around me trying hard to speak to me. I become the most cared and attention seeking person of the family. I am writing this article today as I strongly feel that that was the only time when I followed my heart and was surely the happiest person on this earth. Looking back on this long period I feel now I have lost the feeling of following my heart to major extent. When as a child I started growing up I was getting controlled by my elders as in when to eat, what to eat, what time to sleep, when to play, with whom to play. I could not oppose on to these and followed to it as I had the fear of getting scolded, fear of losing my favorite chocolate. I followed them too strongly because of the fear and could never follow my heart. There were times when my heart wanted to cry but I could not as I knew I will be scolded. I wanted to be in defense as a point of career but didn’t follow my heart. I wanted to visit many places which I knew will bring so much of peace and happiness but again failed. I wanted to learn guitar, I wanted to be a writer, I wanted to pursue my higher studies but I just buried everything inside my heart.
All these years I just feel that I lived for others except the time which I spent to make a career for myself so that I can live my life with my money. I can easily count that it be just 7 years of my life. As I always strongly wanted that I am not dependent on people for money to survive. I was a very bright student and I had a bright career and would have achieved a very big position till date. As they say to materialize your dream you need to follow your heart and work hard for it which did not happened. I feel that I lived the life for many people associated in my life. The irony of her story is that though she lived the life for others still they say that “What did you do for us?” After hearing this I just thought in my mind that none in this world give the credit to others so easily and accept the fact that yes you did at least something in our life. In this story what she did was just followed them and that is the biggest giving to them. Had it been that she would have been against them every time and followed her heart then definitely she would have been more happy and successful. I just feel a highly potential person just failed by not just following her heart. Life is never straight and simple to anyone but it will be made beautiful and happy if you just listen to your heart. I know we all hold ourselves back just to see smile on others face, no to hurt anyone, to avoid any argument. But why it is that we people find difficult to get someone who can understand each other from the point what hurts one, what makes smile one, what are one’s dreams. It is easy to find the cause of the issue and blame the person of not doing thing, but my point is if you have found that this is the problem then do the solution for it then just suggesting and speaking. It is easy to speak then to do as we all have grown so mature at such an early stage of life that we know what and where is the problem. It is a saying to know someone’s situation much better please step in his/her shoes and you can understand the position and emotions very well. The day we all can do this to each other then I am sure we will start following our heart. Trust me the contentment it will bring to our life will remain thankful always. I just want to follow my heart from now on and recommend you guys too for it. Listen your heart and stay happy at heart.
