Follow your Heart or your Head?
I don’t know how others think. But for me decision making was always simple and fast. “Just follow the heart“. I never cared to think if it was right or wrong. And I forbid myself from regretting my past decision or choices. This thumb rule made me take decisions which at times others thought crazy and outrageous, but always kept me happy.
I have done things like, Starting a company while in college with practically no idea what I was doing, completely neglecting studies (not part of the main plan but just was not there among priorities), Not trying to get a job like “others”, Spending a couple of years after college penniless on the craziest of ideas, Quitting a regular and somewhat satisfying job just to get back to the dream project and millionaire dreams. So as you see life had always been like a roller-coaster ride and I enjoyed it. To be frank this was never easy. But I was following my dreams and passion. And that was my fuel, my cushion on the bumpy ride.
As my responsibilities got bigger, I started getting scared of the risks and decided to have a balance of both, to “Follow the Heart and the Head”. But 3 months from the decision, I hate to say it, I regret Following the Head. My work was my passion and now it has become just my ration.
