A couple of weeks ago, I decided to start over because it was what my heart told me to do.
So, I resigned from my job.
When I was younger, I didn’t know how to trust my heart. She wanted me to make impulsive decisions. I told her that I couldn’t be reckless.
(Years later, I realized there’s a difference between being impulsive and reckless.)
While age has made me wiser, he hasn’t left me cynical1. I still believe the universe conspires for our happiness—we just have to be aware2 of all the opportunities, individuals and inspiration she places in our paths.
Living a romantic life requires more than reading the right books, saying the right things and treating everyone with respect. It’s also about leading with the heart when she chooses to speak.
Today, I follow my heart with confidence. Age has taught me failure is just looking at a glass half-empty.
A couple of weeks ago, when my heart told me to take a professional risk, I obliged.
When she suggests I lean in and kiss the girl as my head tells me to walk away, I’ll listen again.
(1) This is perhaps, my life’s greatest achievement.
(2) it’s harder than you think.
