And here it goes again "follow your heart and be happy"...sounds cliched, isn't it? Surely it does coz these days every other person, columnist, psychologist, motivational speaker is repeating the same thing. And I keep wondering why suddenly the so much familiar term 'happiness' is gaining center stage in our lives. Are we not happy? I mean we are living in the best possible times...earning sky-rocketing salaries, living superbly fancy lifestyles, using technology which has brought the world to our fingertips, we are connected with everyone anytime anywhere in this global village and we are still not at peace with ourselves? Why? What is it that is hindering our pursuit of happiness? Why is it that today everybody is being so stressed out...why in such a fantastic time people are undergoing troubled relationships...committing suicides? Is there something seriously wrong?
Sadly yes! Because in our quest for happiness we are being blind followers. And it starts right from childhood...going to school, graduating, doing an MBA, choosing a career, the sequence goes on and on. At every point of making our choice, we follow. And ironically in such a "follower regime" we don't follow our heart, we don't do what we want to do...but do what others have done or want us to do. So how can we be happy? How can a cat be happy in the skin of a mouse!
But what is the solution to this vicious circle?
It's our "heart". The one thing that makes us feel so many different emotions. So let's just be a blind follower and follow our heart. Coz its the best guide to attain happiness.
