“What we encounter with the heart is not simply something to be valued but something to be pursued for its own sake ”

Alain de Botton

Simplified Meaning:

When we feel something deeply in our hearts, it's not just something we should appreciate; it’s something we should actively go after because it holds special meaning for us. Imagine you have a passion for painting. It's more than just a hobby; it brings you joy and fulfillment. Instead of just acknowledging how much painting means to you, you should make it a regular part of your life because it genuinely makes you happy. It's like following your dream job; if you love helping people, becoming a nurse or a teacher is more than just a career choice, it's a calling. The idea is to chase the things you love because they give your life value and purpose. So, if something truly matters to you, don't just think about it—commit to pursuing it.
