“Your heart is your compass in the journey of life; follow it.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from The Vision, chapter 31
In other words
Knowing what to want from life depends on knowing the person who will live it. That knowledge develops slowly, through honesty about what brings meaning, peace, and a sense of being true to oneself.
The heart is a compass because those inner responses point toward a fitting life. Other people can describe valuable destinations, but they cannot feel which one belongs to someone else. The direction must be read from within.
A compass does not remove rough ground or show every turn. It keeps a larger bearing while decisions are made one at a time. Following the heart means letting growing self-knowledge guide those choices, especially when the right destination is visible only to the person moving toward it.
