War between Heart and Mind

I have this war between my heart and mind for almost 2 years now. This war has been between creativity and routine well defined algrithm, between what u luv to do and what u r required to do, between risk taking and knowing atleast the minimum benefits, between not taking things for granted and taking it granted, between new challenges everyhour(by everyhour I mean evryhour) and may be new challenges every week or fortnight, between doing every thing of my own and doing things according to other's wishes, between enjoing and trying to enjoy..................

I dont know how this idea evolved in my heart !(mind this), but for past more than a year an ambition of opening my own Ad Agency has been there in my heart. This may be because of something that really interested me in my school days or may be because of the exposure that I got during my IIT life or may be both, but what I am sure of is that this is the thing which i will enjoy doing in my life best. Creating new ideas, new imaginations with really no boundaries, connecting thoughts, linking aspects, evolving background, team work (this is the place where i have seen this working to maximum), using everything that- u have been with-u have passed along-u have experienced-u are trying, learning and reusing and expressing the real thinking, these all are like inviting my heart to chase them. But then this mind comes....

This mind raise a lot of questions....am I realistic? am I practical? Who is going to trust my abilities? Who is going to give me work? Where do i get the money? and most importantly how i am going to start? .....then an important thing that mind always bring is that my all experiences have been with a team who all enjoyed doing all these at that stage of their life....will I be able to carry the same enthusiasm and passion alone. And when I asked people with whom i worked a lot, it helped my mind create a lot many doubts and concerns. Sometimes it gives a feeling as economic security many a times, in fact I would say most of the time, help one chase his passion without any fear and concerns. I saw most of the people, atleast from the part of country to which i belong, just going along with the regular and tested trends without any thoughts and regrets and few not strong enough to chase their dreams if they had any. Exceptions are there (I heard about a guy who comes from a small place and loved cooking from childhood days and presently working as head chef in Taj group) and that do inspire me.

For this moment I may not mind to delay this war for sometime and most probably in near future one of either my heart or my mind will then still stick to its beliefs and thoughts and whichever dilutes its present thought will help me decide in favour of the other.
