Yes I agree that one should "follow their heart" to go somewhere. One thing to remember is that as the "awareness" of what is possible with their potential changes, their heart will start yearning for reaching that potential.

So, who you are with and what conversations you have on a daily basis will have a huge influence on what your heart will say.

Absolutely. Your dreams (figuratively) are shaped by your daily interactions as much as they are by your personality.

For instance, reading HN has made it clear to me what I want more so than I could have ever found out on my own (I've yet to reach it; though).

Thank you. For those that are ultra-curious about this, please make it a point to read "The Biology of Belief" by Bruce Lipton. Quick summary there is - "Garbage in; Garbage Out." :)
