On the scent

On the scent

"I’d follow my heart too, but I've got bills to pay."

"If I had more savings, I’d spend more time doing what lights me up."

"My kid takes up all of my attention, so I don't have the liberty to work on my passion project."

These all seem like perfectly-acceptable reasons to keep silencing your heart voice.

But following your heart in real life has always required a "both-and" attitude.

“I’ll handle my responsibilities AND for a couple months, I’ll use my social media time to work on my passion project.”

Like that, both-and keeps you on the scent until you stumble your way into your purpose.
