When you follow your heart's one true path, you'll find that you begin to outgrow certain ideas and beliefs that no longer align with you. The things that once motivated you and the types of people you used to surround yourself with may begin to change.
When you wake up to your heart's true desires, you'll likely confront the uncomfortable reality that many of the things you used to believe you wanted were false desires.
Each person grows up in a family and society that teaches them what their desires should be. As you gain clarity on what your heart truly wants, you may discover that some of your true desires contradict what you've been conditioned to believe you want.
It's only by pursuing the fulfillment of the desires that originate from within you that you'll find lasting fulfillment. Being honest with yourself about what your heart wants requires courage because you may have to admit that you've spent many years of your life pursuing things you don't genuinely want.
I’m getting close to selling out the first print run I’ve done with the new fulfillment company I’m working with for my book, A Manual For Manifesting Your Dream Life.

Your path is unique, which is why you can't look to anyone else's life to determine whether or not you're aligned with your heart. You're the only one who knows if the path you're walking down is right for you. Forget everything you've been told about what it means to live a happy and fulfilling life. Instead of blindly accepting other people's conclusions, think for yourself based on your own observations.
Who are the people in your life who inspire you the most, and what is it about them that inspires you? It's equally beautiful to live a traditional or non-traditional life, so long as the way you're living is your choice. The choices that make someone else happy may make you feel unhappy, and vice versa. Your inner self always knows what the next right step to take is, but you must have the self-love to listen and the courage to act on what you hear.
