found this article somewhere awhile back..follow your heart by maya calica
many years ago, while pondering the "rightness" of my own relationship, i asked my mum:
"how did you know that dad was the right one for you?"
she replied: "i just did."
"well how will i know if this boy is right for me?" i asked.
"you just will," was her reply.
mum was right. our feelings have a way of navigating us towards the right choices, no matter how illogical they may seem to other people. splitting from my then-boyfriend - a good-looking man with a great advertising career - seemed silly to my girlfriends. but it was a thoroughly-wise choice that has made me the person i am today. i have since learnt to heed my heart's inner compass to guide me towards decisions in love, career and life, that resonate with what is right for me.
if you're feeling out of sorts or bored with your life, tune in to what your heart is telling you, with helpful tips from ontario-based life coach, michele caron (www.mylifecoach.com).
consider more than the facts
trusting your heart requires you to become more introspective. so shut out the noise - whether it's the opinions of well-meaning folk or popular wisdom - then tune in to your deepest feelings.
"i asked everyone for their opinion on whether i should quit my job," recalls carolyn, an art director. "i was burnt out, but everyone told me to be practical. for one, i needed the money. second, it was a prestigious international ad agency, and third of all, they had just given me a promotion and a raise."
but an unsupportive boss and long working hours made carolyn sick. one day, she felt she'd had enough and tendered her resignation. for two months, she did yoga and worked on her art. when she was ready to go back to work, she was hired by and even more prestigious agency, and now works with a boss she has great respect for.
"following your heart means you have to consider more than just the facts and listen to your inner self," says michele.
start with small things
as in all things, start heeding your heart smarts with the little things.
"for example, when choosing what to eat for lunch, stop and ask yourself: what are my insides telling me?" says michele. "then affirm that you value this inside voice be following what it says."
try this bit of advice, even if it sounds silly.
"if you practise doing that with small things, you will get much better at following what your heart is telling you when it comes to the big decisions.
it's more than just an emotional choice
while feelings have a lot to do with following your heart, there is a thin line between being emotional and answering a deeper calling.
"emotions tend to be more transitory," shares michele. "on the other hand, feelings from the heart are wiser and more sustained. it is probably best to try and get in touch with these deeper feelings when making a choice."
the heart gives you peace
"most people feel a sense of happiness when considering the alternative that matches their heart's choice," explains michele.
no matter how crazy your decision appears to be to the outside world, following your heart brings about a sense of peace.
"i am a person with a strong rational intellect, but when it comes down to the crunch, i'll always follow my heart. it sometimes leads to exciting life with ups and downs, but the ups certainly outwrigh the downs," says michele, who knows this all too well. she moved to a different country to be with a man she had only met three times.
"how crazy does that sound?" she laughs. "but something told me he was the right man for me. he is now my husband, and we have a wonderful life together."
most importantly, following your heart aligns you with your core values. looking back, my split from my ex allowed me to discover what i truly wanted out of life, and that we were not a match after all. it also helped me to realise the kind of guy i do want to spend the rest of my life with - a soulful man who shares my love for nature. had i ignored my heart, i would not have learnt these truths.
michele says: "when you make a choice from the heart, you can be confident that you did your best to follow what's best for you."
you see. sometimes the mind thinks too much. too much thought is placed in the problem, and what happens? emotions take over. and then? decisions made become irrational, choices made become what would normally be chosen..
follow your heart i say. and let your heart lead you. it where you really should belong.

ever felt like everythings out of your control, and nothing you do will change things? so how? what do you do?
you gotta have faith. trust that everything will be alright. believe that things are always for the better.. or is it? accept that whatever happens, youre prepared.
