Live life by your heartbeat

With the ever changing and ever developing world that we are living in today it is more important than ever to "live life by our heartbeat". Now is the time to think for ourselves and not subscribe to the trendy or popular ideas. With reception of media at such a fast delivery rate via internet/mobile delivery systems, we have to strengthen our filter and fine tune it to recognize what we don't agree with and unite with other like minded people to do something. There are so many of us who choose to ignore the bad in order to keep the good. But my question to that logic is, if there are so many ignoring the bad, is there really any true good? We are meant to help each other, this is proven by human nature in its rawest form, almost anyone who is reading this will agree that if there is a person in true need, with a life threatening problem, they will help them. This is not wrong, this is humanity. We are all so concerned about who or what we know, we don't get the chance to know ourselves. We barrel through life like a bull in Spain. We follow the masses and all chase the same prize whether or not we truly know what we want. We convince ourselves that we want the things that others have because they look happy with those things, when really we only want the happiness those things seem to bring. Acquiring all of the things you could ever imagine having will not give you the happiness you are seeking. You must seek inward for this happiness, you must open up the inner most part of your heart and come to terms with what is contained there, this is the first step to enlightenment, this is the first step to finding happiness, know yourself and others will seek to know you. It is not easy to meld your mind and heart and its even harder to live in line with both, especially with the judgement and criticism, based on fear, that is prevalent in the world. The point here is the sooner you seek to know yourself, the sooner you can break though those bindings that hold you and live life in harmony with what you know to be right. Don't just be you, know you.
