Steve Jobs once said: “Remembering that you are going to die is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” What’s more important, your house or your well-being? Following your heart isn’t always easy. Far from it. Sometimes, it’s terrifying. Right now, I have no idea how much money I will be bringing in from month to month, and who knows, I might eventually have to sell my house and move into an apartment. But is following my passion worth it? Absolutely. Why? Because I finally feel like I’m living life on my terms. I’m living my life on purpose. I’m refusing to subscribe to the idea that I need to work from nine to five every day at a job I hate to prove my value and worth as a human being. On the sidelines of my life, a few naysayers might be whispering, “What a waste. She spent ten years in university; she has a Ph.D., and she wants to do airy fairy things like teach yoga and give workshops?” To these naysayers, I say, “So what?” And you should too. This is your life, not someone else’s. The Universe didn’t put you here to be a sheep following the herd. Your soul is screaming at you to follow your heart instead. So do it. What have you got to lose? I would love to hear your thoughts on this. I know this can be a sensitive topic and generate a lot of fear and anxiety. Share your experience and feelings with us!
