Should you listen to your head or your heart?

I used to think the brain was the most amazing thing in the world. Then I realised who was telling me this. I think it needs a mix of both. The heart leads and the head double-checks to make sure you're not doing something unhealthy or stupid. They then take up arms and fight it out to see who wins. It's usually the heart (normal, really - intellectuals suck at fighting).

Each person is different. There are those who are more comfortable following their hearts than their minds or vice versa. For them, following which one they want is the right decision. Personally, I follow my head more than my heart. It's just more practical and my mind is more rational than my heart. I mean I do admit that there was a time when I had feelings for someone unavailable. Now, if I follow my heart, Id be in much more pain than I actually experienced. Also, I would have hurt more people than myself. In truth that I followed my head and forced myself to stop feeling what I was feeling, I still have them as friends in my life. Everything is fine and happy just the way it is. Anyway, I guess either if you are following your heart or your head, as long as you're happy, people around you are happy, and you are doing what is right, then go for it.^_^

Better listen to you head. Your heart will only get you in trouble.

Ok. THis is getting rediculous. This is the third and final try. Too many Mylot problems today. As I was saying I answered this same question posted by another member just last week. I would go with my gut. A women's instincts are supposed to the best and we should always go with what our instinct tells us.

i think you should listen to your heart...

for me, i should follow my heart.. because there will be moments that when all things goes wrong then one person will ask you.. why him or her, and you will have to answer simply, its all because i love him or her.. but if you choose your head, you will have to bear the eternal regrets of making mistake in your life.. there are no regrets in love really..though people may make mistake in it, but regrets don't happen at all..

The mind is too proud, and the heart is too weak. sometimes you have to keep balance to it and know that when you decide, your mind agrees to what the heart feels. I have been in the situation and I was so hurt but somehow my heart tells me the opposite of what my mind would tell me, there are times my mind gets confused but my heart remained firm with my decision.

I have always had my heart and my head agree.I was lucky the second time around. The first time , My heart told my head This must be love , right? But then he disappeared. But on my second time around, they both told me this is Real love. They both thought and felt it. If I Had to choose, I would follow my heart over my head. Love is about feelings , emotions. You have to feel it , not just think about it. But it does take courage to say I love you . It takes openness to accept an I love you.

My contention is if one is in love -s/he would listen to his/her heart. Feeling like love are governed by our heart not by our mind. Our mind tells logical things, which our heart keeps on ignoring and falls in for someone dear to us.

I think You should listen to what your head is telling you but follow what your heart is telling you do to :)

of course the head should be given preference while taking a decision in matters of love. It is easier to be led by heart but that is good only for a while. Later you begin to regret your decision taken in a hurry led by impulses. Love has its roots on looks more than inner worth of the person loved most times. These attractions fade away in time and also familiarity breeds comtenpt.

Hi Awinds, Let the head rule your heart. Because whatever you tell your heart, it will just listen accordingly. Whatever decisions taken with a sharp mind is always a wiser one rather than just listening to the heart though our head says its wrong. It is like overeating your favorite dish though your tummy is full but your heart wants more! at a certain level you need to put a full stop. Heart is very delicate and can be broken too.... take care..

I believe you should go with your heart. It knows if its right or not. Hope This helps.

Some time I listen of my heart and some time I listen from my mind. Because every time mind cant support properly and some time heart is not support.

Love is an act of faith... To Quote Paulo Coelho: "I Need to live and to suffer to understand that love is an act of Faith". Most often than not, our heart knows what truth we should follow. Even Steve Jobs said that - always follow your and it almost always knows what is RIGHT. It may sometimes feel right, but it can be wrong(for others) But only you know because it involves you. Your heart will tell you if you are in a wrong relationship... eventually you will feel and realize that. Your heart truly knows.

Hi Awinds! I think we should both listen to our hearts and heads. Love is not simple, it will always be complicated with other things aside from our feelings. We will always consider other things, because love is not the only thing needed to survive in this world. I'm a practical person so I guess this is why I'm saying this. But I do believe that when we decide, we should always decide with a heart. Consider our feelings. Because only that way we can be fair.

For love, follow your heart. For marriage, follow your head.

Listening to your heart is a huge mistake. Hearts can be turned by the whims of the wind, by feeling, and seeing, and hearing things you want to hear. The mind things, and gauges love with wisdom. To make a wise choice in love, one must use their mind to choose.

I think you should hear to your head, to your thoughts. Thinking is the greatest quality of human being. However I think great and pure feelings such as love could us lead to great thoughts. :)

It depends on the situation.Not all the time is the brain right nor the heart.You have to know which one to use on a certain situation.
