My heart has a decision making process which takes NOTHING into account- not time, not space, not age, not ANYTHING. It knows what it wants and leads me to believe that regardless of any other issue, I should make every prayer, thought, and action lead me toward my dreams.
My mind, on the other hand, is realistic and understands that I'm not always going to be able to get my way because there ARE factors outside of me that can affect the outcome. My mind sees the struggle, the downfalls, and the amount of work that must be done in order to achieve everything that I desire. It acts as a barrier or yield sign to my ambition and constantly makes me doubt the beliefs of my heart.
Finding the perfect mixture of the two is the most difficult thing to do at times. Everyone says to "follow your heart", but sometimes it isn't reasonable to do so. Everyone says "make sure you think it through", but in doing that, you can scare yourself out of every single thing.
So what do you do?
Sit back and wait for the things you want to come to you?
Or do you chase them down and take action toward making your dreams reality?
Do you wait for the "right time" or create the "right time"?
Do you approach the world or wait for the world to approach you?
I wish I knew because then, I might actually feel like I was going somewhere instead of sitting idle and wishing I knew what to do.
