Follow your heart...

I have always loved the concept of following your heart. As a child, I always thought it would be thrilling to actually follow your heart. I believed in the fairy tale of living "happily ever after" if you actually followed what your heart desired. However, after searching for 29 years I have realized it is really hard and messy to follow your heart. Even though it can be hard and messy, it can also be really rewarding. I have always been one to encourage everyone around me to follow their heart, but I was afraid to follow my own advice. My heart had been broken and torn in half over and over, so how could I follow my heart after it was broken? WELL it is easy, you just do it. You wake up every morning and you decide what it means to follow your heart that day, and then you do it. You don't sit around and wait for the perfect moment to follow your heart, you just do it. I have learned over and over again that this life is short, REALLY short and you can go to bed one night and say "I'll do this tomorrow" and then never wake up. How sad would it be if you didn't get to actually follow your heart because you were scared of failing?

Well I am tired of living my life in fear of failing and of being seen in a certain light. I am ready to live my life big and bold and to do all the things that my heart has been scared to do. I think its funny how life works, when you take control of your life and learn how to become strong, you also become a little fearless. Believe me, I am still scared to do a lot of things but I am even more scared now to not do the things I really want to do. With this said, I am entering into a new journey and that is to be a published author. I have loved reading and loved books my whole entire life; if you know me well, you know I have an addiction to books and you might of even benefited from my love of books. I have always dreamed of writing a book, but have been really scared to actually do so. Currently I am working on a book about personal growth, strength and healing as well as a Novel. I know this is going to take a lot of work, dedication, courage & heart but you know what, I am READY to truly follow my heart for the first time in my life. Stay tuned, I am just getting started on following my heart and sharing my story.
