What if I told you that there is only one thing you should do, just one advice you should follow, to live the life you love to live from the bottom of your heart?

You don’t need a promotion, you don’t need a big house, you don’t need to find yourself or become someone you don’t want to become.

You are enough by yourself. And the thing you are supposed to do sounds really simple, and a little cliche in fact, but we will get into the real meaning of it.

What I am talking about is to follow your heart. This is an advice everyone seems to give, and most don’t really understand what it really means.

Now we will explain what following your heart really means and gives. You are enough to do this, in fact, you were always enough to start doing this.

30 Things That Happen When You Follow Your Heart:

1. You start to learn new exciting things.

3. You discover new passions.

The path of your heart is abstract. The only clues you have of where to go is that inner pull toward something you love and your passions. As you follow your passions new ones will be unlocked. Starting to write might lead you to start painting or playing an instrument.

4. You remove things that are toxic from your life.

It’s normal to fail sometimes. But following your heart is not about success or failure. It’s a reward within itself. You would much rather do the things you love and fail at them than not do them at all. And as you face obstacles lovingly, you will see the lessons they hold.

18. You start to give.

It is said you need to fill your own cup first so you can fill others’ and as you follow your heart your cup is filled with love. It’s filled so much that it overflows. You can’t help but to give and share your love. And as much as you do this as more you fill yourself with love.

19. You are more lighthearted.

It’s not that you are without a single care. In fact, when you follow your heart you care even more, however, you care about less things. You care about the things that you should truly care about and this relieves you from all the insignificant heaviness of the world.

20. You become a stronger person.

23. You discover what you really love.

The biggest problem is not that you have no idea what you really love, it’s that you don’t take action to go for the things you kinda love. Nobody knows what they really love, at first. However, as you take action you get a sense of the things that you really, really love.

24. You trust your intuition more.

Following your heart is like working out for your intuition. At first, you might know what’s your first step, but after your first step, following you heart is mainly directed by your intuition. When you don’t know where to go and you listen your intuition, you strengthen it.

25. You stop overthinking.

A mind without a task and direction is a mind that will overthink and worry. That’s a result of our evolution and something that helped us evolve. Following your heart will obsess your mind. It will keep it focused on things you really love doing and you’ll stop overthinking.

26. You create.

There is something within all of us waiting to be created. Only you can create this thing and make it real. Following your heart makes you feel the urge to create. This urge makes you create stuff, and with each thing you create you are closer to creating your masterpiece.

People who follow their hearts might seem almost superhuman to others, because of their levels of energy, commitment and action taking. This glimpse of the superhuman potential inspires others to take at least one step towards becoming the best versions of themselves.

28. You become the best version of yourself.

We are born perfect, with complete worthiness to grow through our true potential. As you follow your heart you are getting closer to this truth and your essence. As you become whole and rediscover your worthiness you start becoming your best self.
