Follow your heart

"Follow your heart" three simple words but it takes tremendous courage to follow the heart. 

"Be yourself", means living life the way it is naturally, spontaneously comes from within us. Flexibility is good. Adapting to situation is wisdom. But totally adopting instead of adapting is foolishness.  Always have the clarity about what are the habits or qualities which we need to hold on and what are the habits or qualities which we need to let go. 

How to decide? Anything which we do should make us feel lighter or at least leave us the way we are. Inspiration, motivation is all good if the change is for the positive, positive means it should make us feel lighter at both the heart and mind, else just don't go for it. 

Sometimes not following the crowd may make us feel alone, but its ok. Because we are perfectly complete the way we are. A handful of good relationships are more than enough. Don't be afraid to be yourself even if being yourself is going to be being alone. Strength lies within you; clarity comes from within you. Love is within you then what is important is to connect within.  When we connect within, half the problems are solved when we have the courage to remain connected within, the remaining half of the issues are solved. 

Be courageous and remain connected within.  The right people and things will be in your life. Those who love and respect you the way you are and for what you are. The things which you really deserve will automatically fall into place.

" Eliminate everything that does not help you evolve " - Rumi.

Eliminate does not mean cut off, it means mentally don’t give importance to things which are not required in your journey. It is each individual to decide what they want in their journey. The free will to make choice is always ours. When we have the freedom of choice, we have along with it the responsibility to handle what comes our way. At the same time respect the choices which your fellow beings make, in that way we can remain in harmony with each other irrespective of differences.
