Your Heart or Your Head?

I posted a status on facebook recently asking whether we should follow our hearts or our heads. What do you think? I'd like to know your opinion.


"To follow you heart, or your head?"
I've copied and pasted exactly what people put, and in the right order. These are the answers that I got :

"your head"
"do what you feel or thinks right, and don't care what others think :)"
"your nose"
"follow ure heart, u mite end up regreting it"
"Your head, you a bright girl,, your heads choice will be the one that will be better in long termm"
"its better to have lived and loved than to never love at all"
"aslong as your intentions are right, and regrets make you a stronger a person, i live by that :)"
"Heart. It will make you happier!"
"Follow your heart"
"if theres one thing i know bethan its this, u dnt wana luk bk and think what cuda bin cuz it will torture u. atleast try atleast that way u'll know for shaw"
"follow your head your a smart girl but follow your heart because only you no how you feel"
"HEART"
"Hmm heart dosent always give you the right answers :)...so head (Y). depends on the situation ifi ts boy trouble then head..if its wanting to jump in a random swimming pool in majorca (or was it tennerife?) then heart lol ♥ "
"*in reply to the last one* ures sounds like its ment to be the other way round lol x"

Do you agree with these? I had a discussion with one of those people who said we should follow our hearts, and he gave very good reasons for his choice. No-one should ever have to look back and think what could have been, but didn't because they never acted upon it.
I am still undecided though. I think it definately depends on the situation.

I firmly believe that it depends on the risk you're willing to take for the desicion.
I think I may have discussed this before on another blog, but I think it deserves a whole blog dedicated to it because it is very important. I also think it is very dependant on the situation.


It's all about the risk taking, really, isn't it? I mean, if you want something - or someone - you have to risk things such as pride, dignity, maybe time, money and effort. But if you're willing to take these risks then the thing or person you're risking them for is obviously worth it. Whether or not you are sure it is the right thing to do, don't you think you should give it a go anyway? What do you have to lose? Maybe those things, but are they really that important? All there is to know, is how much you want this, and how far you are willing to go. Do the consequences really matter?

And does it really matter how likely it is to go the way you want? If you want something, how do you know which way it is going to go - whatever the chances? It could be the lucky moment - your moment - where things go exactly the way you want them to. But you won't know if you don't try.

I don't really believe in regret, I think it is pointless and there is always something to learn from a mistake so something good can always come out of every situation. But if you are to regret, is it better to regret something that you did do, than regret something that you didn't? I'd rather regret something I did, because I would know that whatever happens, I tried and I acted on my feelings. "What if" is such a question that associates with regret.





To follow your heart or your head?
That is the question.

Whichever is saying yes, listen.
Anything can happen. But only if you let it.
