follow your heart...

Not-so-long ago, I was sharing a conversation with one of my beautiful friends who I am blessed enough to have and be given the opportunity to share some amazing, inspiring conversations with. She is one of the most graceful, calm, and forgiving people I know, which - in-turn - inspires me to reflect the qualities that she radiates my way. How special...

The conversation evolved into her sharing with me how bad she felt when she was emerged into a situation where - according to the typical, built-up views of today's society - she believed that she was doing something 'wrong', which would have been perceived in a negative light.

Needless to say, it was easy for me to respond to these thoughts that she was sharing, and I thought that I would also share my advice with you all, too - in hope, someone may take this advice away, creating peace-of-mind for them self...

"You should never feel bad in these situations. You are not a malicious person, and you would never set out to purposefully hurt someone.The only reason you feel like a terrible person is because of the black-and-white belief system that has been created by society about what is right and wrong.

This system has been created because people get a sense of satisfaction when they feel as though they're doing the right thing in this world (for example - and respectfully - Christians will have a place kept for them in Heaven if they live by the word of the Lord...). And the only way we can do the right thing is if there is wrong, too, which makes things difficult for those of us who want to follow our heart, but are stopped because what we want for our self is viewed as the wrong thing to do.

And by us stopping our self just so that we can do the right thing - particularly when the intention is not to hurt anyone involved, but to - for example - feel love, make the right decision to follow our dream, or perhaps the bend the rules or curriculum that are laid down in front of us, to truly connect with those who we are working with (from my being-a-teacher point-of-view...), we begin to block that flow of love and light that once naturally flowed so beautifully out of our heart.

For as long as you balance your pattern giving and receiving in life, then you owe it to your self to completely follow your true heart's desires. You only have one shot at this life that you're now living, so never feel bad if you're living a life of excitement, exploration, love, light, and laughter."

You're amazing, lovely lady, and you continue to be an inspiration in my life. Now it's time for you to give your self a break from your judgment and move forward to the beautiful, amazing life that you truly, truly deserve.


love, love, love and light xx
