Follow Your Heart??

Everyone that you know has heard the saying, "Follow your heart!", but have any of you thought why?

Why follow your heart? 

Sure your heart isn't your brain, but it can still have feelings!! 

You see someone you like, your heart lurches a little. 

You witness some act of kindness and your heart feels like it's swelling with emotion.

All in all, I can see why people would want to follow their hearts... But they fail to realize that their hearts aren't their brains. Your heart shouldn't be the one who is conducting your actions. When people say, "Follow your heart!" In the relationship-type of way, then they're saying "throw all caution and common sense out the window and go for this person!" 

Well I say 

WRONG.

That can be a grave mistake for you in the future! You could follow your heart and put all of your love and trust into one person and they can just cut you off like you were some hideous parasite or something. Once that's been done, where will you be then? 

I'll tell you where you'll be;

Feeling sorry for yourself. Well, I bet ten bucks that if you listened to your brains for just a moment, you could've seen that coming. You could've taken a step back and seen what was about to be. But it's okay. Life will go on and now you've learned from your mistake.

The same can also be said for "Following your heart" when it comes to your dreams.

Go ahead! Follow your heart!! But in this case, I'd change the phrase to "follow your dreams". That way, you still remember that it is only a dream. Sure it may or may not happen, but that shouldn't stop you from perusing it with all your heart! 

So, for me to rephrase that once again;

"Follow your dreams with all your heart."

There. 

I think that sounds rather nice, don't you think?

It's realistic and totally uplifting.

You can follow your dreams with all of your heart and you still might not achieve them. 

But who cares? You got close. 

And close is better than not trying at all.

So kudos to you!

That's all I really have to say tonight!! Blog on my babes!!

And I hope these first few weeks of December are treating you well!

Oh, and Follow your dreams with all of your heart. :)
