Follow your heart and live your dreams

Life is what you make it out to be. So follow your heart and live your dreams. You only have one life, live it on your terms. Even if it is unconventional.

Being conventional requires you to do what has been done for a long time, what is already in practice. But unconventional, on the other hand, means going against popular paths, going in the opposite or in a different direction than what most people do. It is your decision, whether you want to do what everybody does or whether you want to travel unexplored pathways, take risks, challenge yourself and do what you want from your heart.

Herd mentality

It is not easy doing this. Most people in this world have a herd mentality, which is blindly following what is in front of you because that is what other people do. That is, it means not thinking for yourself, but rather doing the tried and tested safe things that will not be risky. If you want to branch out on your own you will be advised not to give up your safe job, because it brings you a fixed income, it is stable and is good enough for you. You can take their advice and stay put or you can get out and chart your own path, risks and all.

Dreams and aspirations

Figure out what it is that YOU want to do. What are your dreams and aspirations, and how you can achieve them. If being conventional achieves your objectives, follow the standard set path and reach your goal. If that is not to be, if you have to go against the tide to reach your target and fulfill your dreams, have courage and take the plunge. It will be risky, you have to plan every step in detail, you have to tread carefully but if this is what you want – leave the herd, think differently and go your way to success and happiness.
