When you’re trying to get from your home to work, you already know which path to take. It’s usually the path that gets you to work, in the least time possible.
That’s because it’s a drive you make so often, you just want it to be over quickly. You have better things to do and places to be. If you ask your friends, you’ll also find that they take the fastest route to and from home.
But this logic breaks down when you’re trying to decide what to do with your life. You can’t just pick the path that gets you “there” the fastest. You have an infinite number of possible choices. How will you make a decision?
When choosing between infinite possible choices, here’s my rule:
Choose a path with heart.
That means that you trust your intuition. You lean into the voice that says “this is what you’ve been called to do”. You listen to your heart when it speaks.
“But what about the fear“, you ask? A funny thing about fear: it feels exactly the same as excitement in the body. There is no biochemical difference. You’re brain is just putting a negative spin on it.
So what are you waiting for? Choose to listen to your heart. Choose to dare. Choose to go for it.
You absolutely can’t lose.
Which path will you take?
