Following Your Heart vs Doing What Other People Want


please infinite waters diving deep once
again we’re in nature doing what other
people want versus following your heart
for many of us doing what other people
want often seems like the easiest option
the most stress-free but we have to ask
for who maybe for other people but for
us we are gonna suffer I’ve had to deal
with this on my journey where you find
yourself at the crossroads so many
voices going inside your ear it’s hard
parents saying do this friends saying do
that so what are we gonna choose let’s
weigh on the scales following your heart
versus doing what other people want how
do they weigh up doing what other people
want you to will make you very popular
people will smile every time they see
you you will be loved by everyone they
will refer to you as that person who
does everything I want
once you follow your heart you may have
to walk alone you need courage for them
perseverance it is not for everyone
that is why so few people follow through
with him you may have to walk away from
the crowd let’s see what’s going on here
of all of these people that love you
because you are doing what they want ask
yourself one question are you doing what
your heart wants that is the question
following your dreams you have the
satisfaction of doing what you love
money cannot buy them you know that what
you are doing is your true calling so
you can sleep at night you have this
passion because you are embracing the
challenge and that is the beauty of
following your dreams it is rising to
the occasion facing the challenge
evolving to a higher level of
consciousness we don’t have to go that
deep just evolving becoming the greatest
version of yourself what I’ve come to
see on my journey is that listening to
your heart will never fail you the more
we can purify it the more we can listen
to it the more it can guide us to
infinite Heights many of us are not
happy where we are because we are living
up to someone else’s expectations the
moment you begin to follow your dreams
is the moment you let go of all of them
doing what other people want
we have to ask ourselves are we doing
what we want what our heart wants are we
staying true to ourselves to follow your
dreams you need a level of integrity you
need in a knowing doing what other
people want many of us may have to sell
our souls down the line because we are
not really doing what we resonate with
we are doing what is acceptable what we
think is unacceptable we’re always
waiting for someone else to value us we
are like items on a display in a shop
why does so few people follow their
heart and go for it
what I’ve come to find is that whenever
you do what other people want you don’t
have to take responsibility you can
blame them if it doesn’t turn out right
once you follow your heart
there is no one else to blame but
yourself because you have made this
choice you’re taking a hundred percent
responsibility it is rewarding once you
followed your heart but at the same time
you need to be brave many of us we want
you get a job nine to five then you come
home and you can do that for the rest of
your life security is an illusion when
something is secure what happens it
however when something is free it can
move in any direction it is limitless
and that’s what happens when many of us
follow our heart there is no guarantee
when we are following our heart when I
was beginning to work for myself you
have to put in a lot of hours sometimes
you have to work twice as hard as people
who have a regular nine-to-five because
you are your own boss
whenever you follow your heart we have
to remember that the heart will be the
guide there are no manuals it’s not like
when you listen to other people telling
you what to do go here go there take a
right at this corner no when you follow
your heart you are your own compass you
are your own map
many of us when we talk of doing what
others want us to do many of us do this
because we do not love ourselves enough
once you follow your heart you begin to
love yourself because you say I am
worthy I deserve the best
I deserve to fulfill the dream many of
us we find ourselves in situations I
hate my job why are you complaining when
you are not happy do something about it
so to follow your dream you need self
love you need to see that this world
you’re living in can be anything you
want we create our own reality many of
us when we do what others want us to do
one thing I’ve come to see on my journey
is that when you follow your dream you
and that is what it comes down to when
we do what our parents want when we try
to please people when we are living up
to society’s expectations it’s never
good enough because you can never please
everyone the more you begin to follow
and stay true to yourself you begin to
discover the secrets you can’t please
everyone the more you begin to love
yourself the more you stay true to
the more you move away and deviate from
your authenticity then other people’s
opinions matter more than yours
I saw along my journey the perception we
have of ourselves is greater than the
perception other people have of us
whenever you allow someone else to give
you value you lose confidence and that’s
what happens on so many of our journeys
we’re waiting for the validation from
someone else a work colleague a family a
friend to tell us we are wonderful we
have to start knowing we are wonderful
not even believing we have to know we
are wonderful to follow your dreams we
have to realize that there is no path
there is no one way to it
many of us when we are doing what other
people want we are going by guidelines
and blueprints about how to get to a
destination an end goal we focus all our
attention there we even forget to enjoy
the actual process just like in Alice in
Wonderland Alice asked a cat what road
do I take the cat replied well where are
you going
Alice replied I don’t know and then the
cat replied then it doesn’t matter if
you don’t know where you’re going any
road will get you there and that is how
it is when we are following our dreams
sometimes it feels we are lost we have
to enjoy being lost because we are
creating as we are going along we are
doing the indefinable we are doing what
hasn’t been done before it doesn’t
matter what anybody thinks of us should
I worry what other people think of me if
it is yes then you are doing what other
people want if the answer is no then you
are following your heart and that is how
it is we have to listen to the inner
Oracle the inner voice knows best that
is the power of intuition the first
voice is the right one when we drown out
this voice when we can no longer hear it
then we’re in big trouble because we
will listen to anyone outside of
ourselves we externalize our power we
say it worked for them maybe it will
work for me we begin using other people
as references and parents do all the
time to us they say well so-and-so son
made it to this University they’re
working in this job getting six figures
seven figures why can’t you be like them
whenever we are doing what other people
want nine times out of ten we are
working through a reference model we are
comparing ourselves to other people when
we follow our own dreams we create our
own reference because there is nothing
to compare ourselves to it’s about
living in the heart space instead of the
mind it’s about raising the vibration to
do that we have to walk in our authentic
unique truth not everyone came to earth
to learn the same lesson everyone has a
different calling there are no good
people all bad people there is only
resonance when we are following certain
people that we don’t resonate with or
people we feel are making us do certain
things
pressurizing us these people are there
to test us to see if we really are who
we say we are your greatest adversary is
your greatest friend so we have to move
away from blaming people and remember
the universe gives everyone a job we
have to know what we came here to do
that is the difference between doing
what others want and following your
dreams you have to know the
self otherwise you will always be living
in someone else’s shoes we are out here
