One popular saying that I believe has negatively influenced our society today is " Follow You Heart." Even though it may sound inspiring, many people misunderstand it and use it as an excuse to do whatever they feel like doing without thinking about the consequences. Our hearts and emotions are not always right, expecially when they are influenced by peer pressure, anger, greed, or impatience.
Today, many youths have "followed their hearts" into harmful lifestyle such as smoking, internet fraud, stealing, cultism, ritual practices, drug abuse, and other destructive behaviours. Youths are now driven by temporary feelings, social trends, and the desire to get rich quick.
To protect younger people around me from adapting this mindset, I try my best to guide them with good advice and positive examples. I encourage them to think carefully before making any decisions and to understand that not every feeling or desire is worth following. I also remind them about the importance of values like honesty, hard work, patience and self control.
I personally resist the pressure to conform by focusing on my goals, listening to wise counsel and avoiding negative influences. Before making life tough decisions, I pray, think carefully and sometimes consult people who are more experienced than me for advice and directions. I believe that decisions should be guided by wisdom, truth, and good character, not just emotions. Following Your Heart without diection can lead to regret, but following wisdom can lead to a better and meaningful life.
