Follow your heart (?)

Ramblings of a raging mind.

Follow your heart. 

But ... 

what if - you don't know the path your heart wants to follow -- 

what if - you've lost the trail  --

what if - you find yourself at crossroads --

what if - your heart is split on which way to go --

what if - the path you choose, turns out to be ... a dead end?

many times our emotions and desires play with our choices, and even sometimes mixing things for us making us feeling something which might be not true and lead us into a road we might not have walked through, still, everything is for a reason, and still I say, and will always say, trust Your intuition and follow Your heart.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

You are so right, and yet sometimes things just don't go our way...thank so much for your insight here, Light. As always, appreciated. x

[lightsong]

sorry for my confusing slip, I meant " mixing things for us making us feeling something which might be "not" true" I just fixed it now, the not changes the whole meaning.

You are always welcome, You always write Your thoughts questioning them, and this is healthy for You.

I think we all feel this way at some point in our lives, both men and women. I thought this was beautiful, however, you can never go wrong when you follow your heart, even if it leads you down a dead end, it only means that that is where you are suppose to be right now. Otherwise I loved it.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

So maybe it all comes down to fate...
Thank you for your insight here. I appreciate it.

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

All the "what ifs" that plague us and stop us from following our heart, the poet eloquently expresses here. The answers? We won't know until we take the risk...if we reach a "dead end", at least we will have loved, and learned...

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I don't think all dead ends end with us learning and loving. Some lead to regrets, more so everlasting ones...
Thank you for your thoughts, Annette.

Follow it once. If it leads you astray - grrrr....get a heart transplant !
Like Sapientiam says though, there are no guarantees in this worldand it's pretty much all trial and error.
I really like this. It was me many years ago.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

And what's the guarantee the heart transplant would be successful? Maybe it'll lead the same way as the previous.... ;) kinda like forever on trial and error...

You mean you used to think like me too when you were my age?!! Noo, that would mean I'll think like you at 'your' age haha :p lol jk
Thank you, Tony. I appreciate your thoughts.

[Tony Jordan]

I was thinking of a mechanical heart. Or a maniacal one ;p
welcome my friend.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I think I already have a maniacal one :p mechanical one would help calm me down haha 😛😛

[Tony Jordan]

Oh btw...if you do think like me it'll mean I'm dead because this world can only have one true genius at a time.

[Tony Jordan]

A mechanical one would help. Just make sure your surgeon can spell. I asked for a pacemaker and I got a placemaker !! I said to him as I clutched my chest - "YOU! Get the 'l' out of here!"

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I'll continue being dumb then 😛😂
Lmao you're funny! Anyone would think you're too old to want a pacemaker at this age haha 😛😛

[Tony Jordan]

I dont want to stretch this visit to Earth out any longer than physically fated to, without bionic parts Yumna. ;)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Me neither ;) 30 would be a good age to leave by my standards lol

[Tony Jordan]

30 is the new 20 !!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hahah Si, Signore ;) :p

What makes life so meaningful is the idea that nothing in the future is certain. Our fates are filled with bountiful opportunities that are waiting to be discovered, yet, if we as humans only fear the future, then our lives are stripped of meaning. I'm a bit wary of taking risks, but those risks are a factor that defines life and builds courage. We shouldn't be afraid to "bathe in the mist", as a literature teacher once told me. Dive in and experience it all, the pain and joy. There's always a light at the end of the road (sorry, that was too cliche!). Before I ramble on any longer, great job on this!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

And what if you've taken the risk, experienced joy out of it and now are left with the pain only?...
I agree, life is full of surprises but sometimes we get the worst deals out of it...
Thank you. I appreciate your thoughtful ramblings.

[Sapientiam]

That is true, but should we live in fear of every bad circumstance that may happen?

I've taken risks that have ruined my sense of being, but I don't use pain as a factor to keep me on the ground. I use it to grow, no matter how much it hurts or how much I regret.

Also, you're welcome!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Interesting. You leave me thinking over that...

[Wajiha Nayeem]

we must follow our heart...and yes, take risks.
otherwise there's no learning.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Oh but taking risks has its consequences, be mindful of that fact ;)
Thank you. I appreciate your thoughts.

[Wajiha Nayeem]

heheh...true you.

[Surya]

I believe, we must follow our heart and possibly raise above dead...It's just my view, well everyone has their perception towards it....yet, it is a question that one must ask themselves....I liked it..:)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I feel this would always be a conflicted question with no real answer...
Thank you for your thoughts, Surya. I appreciate it 😊

[Surya]

Hahaha, yes it is always conflicted...A pleasure..:)
