Why do we have to listen to our hearts?
Paulo Coelho asks in his novel The Alchemist:
Why do we have to listen to our hearts?
The whole book is 'a fable about following your dream,' a search for treasure, so following your heart is key.
Of course these ideas are meant to be open ended - what is your heart telling you?
You need to start with an honest reflection on what you truly want, and why.
