Following Our Hearts Requires Courage

Following our hearts

May involve quieting other voices

That may want is to follow their dream

Being true to ourselves often involves

Hearing the one voice that call us even if others cannot hear it

Ron, who was in his seventies

Had grown up in a family in which medicine

Was the profession of choice

His uncle had been respected physician in the community

And when Ron decided to go into medicine family and friends applaud his decision

Just before he was about to enter medical school

He want to see a gifted chiropractor as a patient

During treatment, he became acquainted with a discipline

That believed in the power of the body to heal itself

It affirm the value of touch which he intuitively found appealing

There are two keys to following your heart

Having the discipline to listen and the courage to follow

Ron, the man who chose to become a chiropractor

Put it this way you have to follow your heart, because to deny that

Is to deny everything

Of course you will make mistakes

You will miss the mark, but

If you keep current with yourself

You move closer and closer to who you came here to be

Perhaps been true to ourselves is not just about work

Or family, or whether we have children or where we live

It is about whether the images and moments of our life

Feel true to us

When you are dying

Your whole life passes before your eyes

What I found is that it’s not your whole life

But images of your life that you see

If you feel good about those images you see

You will not be afraid to die

Now to you imagine the moment

That would pass before your consciousness

What would you regret of?

What would you wish to find among those images that are not there yet?

One of the things we must do to be authentic is to have

The discipline to really listen to our heart
