Listen to your heart

By Michael Dalali

How many times do you happen to do something that comes from a push within your heart? How often do you try to listen to the inner voice rather than going with common trends?

In life, we are not always supposed to swim according to the life trend. Not always are we to follow the common pattern, not all of us.

Having a unique trend can only be realized well with one once he pays a great deal of attention to his soul. Following the inner call on what to do and what do decide on. This is very important.

In a critical situation that results in a big dilemma in life, advices given out from people around us such as friends, relatives and even our parents do act as guidance but not a call. At the end of the day everyone’s soul happens to have a call within each and every crucial step we want to embark.

Sometimes the inner voice is so silent to the extent that it needs total self passion to catch it. However it is very important to exercise that.

With the inner voice, gives a soul relaxation on whatever one decides on. You know why? Because it is a total inner call on a decision one takes.

Listening to our heart goes even in lifelong decisions such as what kind of career path one should take, where one should go through academic trainings, what kind of close partners to be with (goes even to our intimate partners).

For example, if one wishes from his or her own soul to take teaching as a career path in life, then should stick to that call regardless the challenges current portrayed in the specific field. Because, within full of the challenges still it happens to have successful and happier teachers in the same field of work. Hence one can aim to be in that group, can aim to be a center or role model of successful teachers who live a happier teaching career.

Everyone has an inner mind on whatever decision to make, however normally seek advice so that once things get worse to have a place of handing over the blames or a sympathy avenue.

It is very important to exercise the ability to trap the inner call in our souls.
