listen to others but follow your heart...

Many of us before making a major decision in our lives feel the need to consult with others. Whether it is our parents, friends, partners, or family we look for that stamp of approval. I know that when it comes to myself I always have to ask someone else to get an opinion. And yes sometimes I just look for someone to agree with me. However, we all know better than this. We ultimately know that even with everyone's input and comments that we have to do what's in our hearts. But why do we struggle so much with this? Why can't we just do what we feel is right? In the past few weeks I've had to make a major choice on whether or not to let someone who hurt me back into my life. I had all my family and friends telling me it was a horrible idea and that I should stay away. But we all have that voice. That little voice in our heart that tells us what to do. Now, I'm not saying that voice is always right but the person who knows you best is yourself. Not your mom or dad, best friend, or lover. YOU know what works and what doesn't. Eventually, I made the choice to let this person back in my life. Not completely but enough to cause problems with others. But instead of being upset at how everyone is going to react and what they are going to say, take control. Sometimes people need to be reminded of their boundaries and that their stance on things aren't always wanted. I've said before, this blog is about HAPPINESS and doing the things that make you happy. Once you stop living for others and start living for you your life will prosper. FOLLOW YOUR HEART.
