Many people say, when you listen and follow your heart, all things will come good and smooth. But hey, this is not true. There are many things in this world that is unaaceptable. Therefore, if you follow your heart and listen to what it says, you might end up fighting against the world. But is in it good to fight for your rights? Well, it is true but you have to bear in mind that there are many things in this world that only you could understand. So let things happen and let others learn what is in your heart but you will never get a one hundred percent assurance that you will be understood. Just follow your heart and listen to it when necessary. Also, when you have no any other options to consider, then the only way is to follow and listen to you heart. Maybe, it can lead you to your dream path. Good Luck.
Happy MyLotting!

Wow! It's romance question. I alway listen and follow my heart, but somtime my heart was crazy. May be,i was not try to do with it,because nobody was not to do with me. I'm not stay alone, i want to have friends, so i sometime follow other too.

ahaha..Romance question. Yeah you are correct. I was influenced by all the romantic movies I have watched. Hmm.. How crazy was your heart? What do you do when you felt like you are getting crazy making decisions. The best way to learn to balance the situation is to take risk sometimes but not too high.

Simple yet sincere and true answer. I follow my heart when I know that in some situations you have no other options to choose. Thank you taking time commenting.

sometimes i dont believe when you follow your heart all things will come good and smooth. there are things that for us its right for others its not and of course were going to push ourselves to that but in the end we will know that its not right. for this im consulting other people before i do that thing so that i dont have regret for doing it or not doing it. and of course as u say if there's no option you will follow and listen to your heart. happy mylotting

Hello there. Yeah you are absolutely right that it is good to consult other people before you do things so that in the end you do not regret of the result. Only sometimes, following your heart will give the best result. Maybe I was influenced by all the romantic movies I have watched. Haha.
Happy Mylotting.

I always think that I should follow my brain and heart. Lol. What do you say? When I tempt to do sins like telling a lie, my heart will say don't say a lie, but my brain will say it is ok to tell this lie to escape from this difficult situation and finally I go for the words of brain.
In some other situations, when I fight with my husband, my brain will say it is your husband, so please forgive, but my heart will say, no go ahead and fight, because at heart I am the poor and silly human being with all emotions and weaknesses. So, I listen to heart.

That is a good combination. Brain and Heart. I cannot say more. Hehe. That is already perfect. Sometimes it is okay to tell a lie when it benefit not only you but other people i.e. while lies. But I sincerely believe in you. Thank you for sharing us your thoughts on this topic. Happy Mylotting.

yes its true...we must not follow our heart all the time coz most of the time it just lead us to something more complicated...its the reason why our mind is higher than our heart...we should listen to our mind as well coz our heart might be wrong sometimes...
i have experience this, when i have to decide...i am marrying by then and i met somebody, i think i really love that guy and i am ready to call the wedding off just to be with this someone...since i have some issues with my husband to be that time...i tell you, its really a torture making decision that time...my heart tells me that i must call the wedding off, break with my husband to be and go with this guy that i love more...i think. but my mind says NO! my mind says think think think...is it the right thing to do? what will be the consequences...what will happen next? who will be the right choice? and so, after thinking and balancing the situation...i ended up walking in the aisle and exchange my vow with this man...even if my heart says that i should be with that other guy...i didn't follow it...and now, i am living happily with my husband and very thankful that i did not listen to my foolish heart that time! coz i think if i listen to it that time...i don't think if i have a good and happy life as i have now...

Hmm, thank you for sharing you story to us. That was really hard time for you to make decision. But I salute you for making the right decision. I thought this only happen in movies. Your story is like a fairy tale. Very interesting. But you are correct, that if you follow your heart that time and made a big decision about cancelling the marriage, you might end up not really happy because sometimes last minute decision does not help much. Only you are being challenge. And the good news you, you surpass it. I am so happy for you.
Happy Mylotting.

i follow my 6th sense being that i am a woman. i do believe in it. beacause there have been many things that i sense and they are true. so that is what i believe in. i do also listen to my heart and sometimes but not always follow it. you just dont' know sometimes. its all about what is meant to be. if you are supposed t know or do what you did. then thats all it is. you can't change it. it will happen even if you dont want it to.

Wow I never know that sixth sense. Hmm, it is a new information for me. And you are really talented to sense things that are good for you. You can work for someone like Mike Shiva here in Switzerland and you can earn a lot. Hehe. Yeah, sometimes it is good to listen but not to follow. Thanks Maria for sharing your thoughts. I am happy that i am getting more and more comments from this thread. Happy Mylotting.

First what I have notice is your picture. I know it is not you because you are from Indonesia. I just notice that the drink should be POKARI right? but that is cool. A frank joke. Anyways, back to the topic. Yes you are definitely correct that in biggest decisions, for instance, setting free a person because he or she loves someone else, then you have to follow your heart because for sure, you made the right choice.

There were so many times that I wanna listen to my heart,but things went contrary to my wishes,I usually got the unwanted result,so I can't believe the words"listen and follow your heart,all things will come good and smooth",instead,it alwalys ran counter to my wishes. As a result,I hold the principle:do right things at the right time no matter how unwilling you are,although a little cruel to yourself.

Welcome to Mylot. We are both new here.
Back to the topic, yes, when we listen to our heart like wanting a wish, then we felt like it is going to come true easily but when we listen to what our mind says, that dream or wish is not that easy without effort or even if you have efforts or work hard on it, stil that dream is not achievable. We do not want unwanted results so sometimes we are just stuck to things that we cannot find answers. Well, regarding my own opinion, this is just an opinion for that moment because as what I have mentioned, your mind changes when you hear other people comments that is why it is important to share your thoughts because by doing it, you can learn something useful in the future. Same with what I have done today. Posting a topic that I cannot even answer, yet, I just give my own opinion.

buddy can u tell me how heart can speak. and how u listen to it........
when u come to a question like to dring bear then ur intellect will give u all options it has gain in past like this.
its good
its bad
its wastage of life
etc
but if as per age the intellect has only one option thats dont know then it will go with its mind......
mind is what which has to follow the signal may be one from intellect or its own random decision.....
and we sometimes mention mind decision as heart decision cuz its not manytimes based on our intellects right decision.

Nice comment buddy. Well let me enforce ur knowledge kinda more.
there are 3 things mind intellect and habits.
The function of mind is to think, generate thoughts. These thoughts are ur inner voice and trigger power pulse in brain to do actions.
the function of intellect is to store informations and provide the mind when its called upon. Intellect is also called intelligence.
habits are what u usually do. For example when first time u see bear then ur intellect will provide 8 with yes and no . If u choose yes then it will become kinda weak habit. And in next more chances if if u continue to quick with yes then it will become ur more strong habit and to remove it u will have to take many next decision to no. Also u usually response to familiar tasks as per ur habits. Doctors mistakenly defined this process under left right brain.
and all these 3 things or powers are parts of ur soul.

Hmm. First of all, I would like to thank you for commenting on the discussion about following and hearing or listening your heart. I cannot exactly tell how heart speaks and how to listen to it. Only you as a person can say about what you feel and your heart supports you. I come to this question out of curiosity about the comments of many people. People have different way of thinking and it is a fact that people will give different answers regarding how they understand the topic. Since you already mention about intelect, why not start a topic about it, people will pay more attention to it maybe. And also, my intelect does not have one option because it is supported by what we feel and what we do. What I can say is that, why not combine both the mind and the heart as they know what is the best for ourselves.
Thank you for an interesting comment. Have a nice day ahead.
Happy Mylotting.

I do follow my own path I know some may have this or that that they bend on but for me the only way I will go along with something if I truly believe in it sometimes one must know how to go about it not everything in life is going to go according to what you want and then maybe you may have to make tough decisions and sometimes I have had to stand alone with my beliefs but at least I knew I was true to myself and with that I can live with verses not being true and feeling like a sell out or a fraud

Yes, I know your reasons why you only consider yourself because there are times that when we follow our hearts, we made mistakes that affect other people. Therefore, we want to deal with someone that when we make mistakes, we have no one to blame but ourselves. But in order to make a perfect decision, why not combine our hearts and mind. Again, others or the third party is very important in dealing with serious things and not just letting our hearts to do the decision.
Happy Mylotting,

it is best to follow your heart and understand what your head is telling you also, i sometimes find myself struck between the two, but it is best to follow your head in important decisions. your heart is useful also amd can be well used in the long run, but in short decisions use your head.
@yuansplace (543)

Important decisions are arrange for the mind while useful and things like you have no other options in which your mind could not help at all, then your heart will answer. Long term decisions, follow your mind. Short term, then your heart. hehe.

Hallo there and welcome to mylot. Yes, it is okay to disagree because I am just giving an opinion. We have our own opinion and I respect every opinon being said. But believe me, sometimes when you listen to your heart, you get the most precious thing in life that you never know you can get. But of course, with the help of the mind and right decision.
Happ Mylotting and thanks for commenting on discussion as your first message ever on Mylot.

I don't know how to answer, but I think at times I listen and follow my heart. Last week, I supposed to go to catch fish with my friends and pupils, but after all the preparations has been done and we ready to go, suddenly I said that I don't want to go. My heart seems insisted that I should not go, I ahve bad feelings about it. And then at evening my friends told me that the palce they went is very far, around one and half hour journey and even though there are many fishes, but the river is so challenging. I guess, my heart make a correct decision.

It is always good to listen to your heart. But I think unwise to always follow what your heart says. We all know that with heart , you know that you are not reasoning well. There could be decisions done by the heart that you might regret later on. It is good to use a little of both.

not so..
because my heart never says anything to me..
i have never heard my heart giving any advice to me..
moreover i think thats because my mind repies the answer faster...
might be the heart and mind may have same answer ....that why..!!
Keep lotting....keep earning....

Why not? Do you have feelings for others? Have you fall in love before? Hmmm..the answer seems weird. I really cannot understand that why some people does not have feelings in terms of knowing what their heart says? Just a comment.
Happy mylotting too.

Scientifically its only our brain that tells what to do and what not.
And thus whatever we think which is luking sweet is answered by heart and if that is so,i always listen what my heart says in every situation be it something sweet or not....And if i dosen't get an answer from my heart'i just close my eyes and whatever comes in my mind,i just do it..........According to me,heart says always the right and is never wrong.All depends on how the person is,and thus the heart also suggests the wanted decision....!

Listen to your heart .....it sound goods in the movies and Bryan Adam's song but hang on.....A small reality check...In the real life if you religiously follow this doctrine you will end up hurting yourselves on numerous occassions .I mean there are countless number of times when my heart told me go for certain things which in hindsight would have jeopardized my entire life. Thank god I resisted and you should too . I know there are times when logic doesnot count and one tend to get swamped away by emotions , but my advice will be to trying to keep those incidents to the barest minimum

Yeah. I remember that song from Bryan Adams. Now, we mention religion in this issue. Yes, it is necessary in some places and in some situation. I know what you are saying. It is same to what happen to me but I found a way to express my feelings by moving to a place that allow a person to freely express their feelings. I love your answer a lot.
happy mylotting.

hi ....You are absolutely correct. I would suggest some advancement to the discussion by sayin, for quite a few things like investment wherein you take calculative risk, you listen to your mind and for savings and buying something you will have to listen to your HEART. This is just a fact and even after you listen to your heart and you are unable to come to a conclusion and listen to your parents.
VICTORY is yours.. cheers
