"Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow know what you truly want to become." Steve Jobs - Co-founder of Apple Inc. (1955–2011)
Following your heart and intuition is following your inner guidance, the guidance of Higher Consciousness.
Following your heart and intuition are important elements of raising your consciousness.
When you raise your consciousness, you release fears, beliefs and other programs that keep you from hearing what your intuition and heart are telling you.
