Follow your Heart

I have been watching a series on TV called "Masterchef Australia". I am always blown over by the fact that the people cooking in the series are amateurs. The food that they bring to the table is absolutely breathtaking. The reason that they are so good in what they do is because cooking is what they are passionate about. They have left their high paying jobs to pursue the very thing they love doing. Watching these people has inspired me to  follow my heart and to pursue the things i love doing.

I am always discouraged to see people around me take up jobs, or pursue subjects( in their academics) that they are not interested in. The only driving factor for them is money. Money cant buy you satisfaction, and that is something i have experienced in my  personal life. I got a job at a really fancy company. I was super excited to start working. I think my friends were more excited than me ;) A few days in my new job and I knew that I would not last here very long. The work I was doing was not something i looked forward to. I dreaded going to work every day. And trust me the pay was really good, which made my decision to quit quite difficult as well. But I did resign. When I look back that was the best decision I ever made. I did get another job in a smaller company and not as fancy as my previous one but I am happy here.

It takes much courage to follow your dreams.Very few tread on these roads. But the reward is worth it :)
