It’s hard work remaining true to your heart!

We do not grow up learning to go against the tide. I grew up in an upper middle-class family in India being groomed to success by following the rules. Someone like Loulou Van Damme, who seemed to follow her heart, would surely have alarmed my parents. But the more I spoke with her the more I realised how much hard work it is to remain true to your heart. “I fought for living this life,” she said simply. “I have some good angel with me. But I worked a lot.” Even Isla’s Ridge was a struggle. She said she was on the verge of cancelling the contract if CGH could not be persuaded to run it as the kind of guest house she had envisioned, rather than yet another luxury hotel.

Hat tip to Kush for sharing it.
