Should I follow my heart?

We live in the age of dream-seekers. Of heart-followers. We’re told that in order to be happy in life, we must follow our hearts and chase after our dreams. Then, and only then, will our lives truly have meaning. “Follow your heart.” It’s Disney’s mantra. Nearly every princess ends up with a dashing prince because she was listening to her heart. She found that fulfillment came from being true to herself. Wouldn’t it be lovely if it worked out that way? If we listened to our hearts, and ended up with a fairy-tale ending? But there’s a just one flaw.
