Listen to your heart

What do you REALLY want? Listen to your heart.  Take some time out to consider what you would really like to do, who you would really like to be. Don't be too surprised if what you really want differs from what you think you really want. We tend to create blue prints throughout life, usually befitting that particular stage in life. When you are a teenager you probably want to stay out all night and try all those things on the list issued to you by your parents entitled 'don't do this'. You might, as you get older, want a high powered and preferably well paid job, a large house, a nice car and great holidays in the sun. Sometimes people tire of this 'perfect' lifestyle and decide they want to downsize. To spend more time at home and less time at the office, to spend time with friends and family. What you want normally evolves and adapts over time.

Unfortunately we are often so busy with everyday life that we simply drift along on lifes' conveyor belt, only to look back in a few years and think 'what am I doing here, did I want to be here? how did I end up in this job/house/situation? What would I really rather be doing right now? So we need to find out  what your heart truly desires right now this minute. Not what hubby, wife, girlfriend, kids, parents, pets want, but what YOU truly want. You, yes you!! 

Sometimes what our heart truly desires is thwarted by listening to others opinions of what they think we want, or maybe even coming back to what we wanted a while ago, which no longer holds true for us. We change, evolve and move on. What we might have wanted age 5/15/25 might not hold today.  

Sometimes we get a moment of enlightenment like a bolt from the blue, something we had not thought of ourselves either because we held limiting thoughts about our abilities or because we felt we did not deserve such a fabulous opportunity.  You will know when you are on the right track with your thinking, you get a warm buzzy feeling just below your ribcage, in the solar plexus area under the diaphragm. When you feel this you know that that is what you really want.
