Heart can be over powering sometimes that it takes over the brain.If you follow what your brain says, your heart bleeds.If you will be in the situation of choosing, which one will you go through? Which one you will follow?

Ideally mind over heart but normally what is happening commonly is always heart over mind... I like to say that I would follow my brain... for love sometimes is not enough... love fades... love makes a person miserable if all use is only heart... We must use our brain then put heart on what we are up too...

Yeah absolutely correct! Many of us are blinded by love. Some are not using their brain anymore... all they use are their hearts which is absolutely not right... I believe if we want to be happy really, we should always use our mind-- combine brain and heart... Sadly, most of us when that strikes, we let our hearts take full control pn our decisions...

Yes normally its heart over mind.We all know that sometimes we can't control things, we can't hold on to forever.As what it said...some good things never last.That's why it's better to used the brain over heart sometimes.

ofcourse i will choose mind over heart.
cause for me mind is all that makes us love.
love came from the brain and not from the heart im not scientifically speaking its just that, i dont like that the heart is being blamed as to be the one who lmake a person love. :)
and ofcourse im confident that my mind will choose the right one which both heart and mind will be happy.. :)

i think i have read something about a hormone that produces the sense of love.
our neurons are the one who thinks that we love not our heart we only say that our heart loves because when someone we love get near to us our heart beat fast. and also when we are sad and stress because of love our chest or part near our heart aches, but that doesnt explain that our heart is the one who makes us love. all of that reaction came from our brain.
i will try to remember whats the name of the hormone that makes us love, i will message so if i remember.. :)

Hi elle to answer that question I would have to say that I would listen and follow my head....Especially with my ex husband....
We had a baby together at a very young age were never married til later and he abandoned me with a almost year old at the time and went and married my child hood friend who went to school with my sister and had many sleep overs at my house growing up.....They have a son together well before that baby turned a year or just after she left him and he started coming around me again....
We were really good friends for a couple of years and i really felt he had changed and grown up and matured and gave him a chance we got back together then we had another baby together who is almost 4 then a year later or less then we lost our third together well 10 months after that he abandoned my kids and I again this time with no income and 2 kids to support was a mess so in the case of my ex husband I would say my head over heart he has broke it too many times.

OMG..that's really sad..you poor thing.. your (ex) husband is a very foolish and immature person. How could he do that to you twice!!! Most men are insensitive and inconsiderate!! Hope you and your kids are doing goods now. Good luck.

I haven't been in a relationship ever because I tend to follow my mind over my heart. I'm afraid to make mistakes just because of listening and following what my heart is saying. This principle is also what my father always tell me: mind over heart. i don't want to mess up with my feelings because I believe that feelings are unstable. I want to analyze first any situation before making a decision and getting into it. It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.

I must salute you if you can overcome the test of life, the test of love that sometimes we are not expecting to come along the way.Our parents always tell us to used our mind always,but sometimes test of life come along the way.Hope you'll be strong enough to hold that your heart can't overpowered your mind.

Hey Elle, learning from my past experiences, I say your heart should never rule over your head. You'll only end up getting hurt. You may feel quite passionate about something and make a decision based on that spur-of-the-moment feeling and then later regret it cause you wouldn't have thought things through. Sadly, no matter how strong I try to be and listen to the rational thoughts and arguments, my heart always wins when it comes to love and relationships. I put everything aside and listen to my heart. I guess women are made that way!

Yes I do believe in that also. why we women are made like that. We always step our brain when it comes to love and relationship.Even our mind will say it is wrong but still our hearts would say. its okay as long as you love each other.
At the end we will end up hurt.Again lessons learn.

I'll say mind over heart. Heart will usually make you stupid and will just hurt you in the end. Analyze first using our brain and decide what's the best course of action to do. And our heart is not thinking. It doesn't weigh all the possibilities. It will just let us do what we want without thinking of the consequences.

Thank's for sharing also.I salute you also that your using your mind rather than your heart.You said it right many times when you use your heart it make you stupid,but always remember that sometimes through our heart also we learn so many lessons to stood us still in the storms of life.

Honestly, I don't believe in this scenario since everything is all through our minds. Our minds where the one that commands us to do things and think about things, we love because it's what our minds tell us to.
I don't know how am I gonna explained it further but all I can say is everything is psychological.

Let things play out because we do believe that when the heart over powered the mind then, sometimes we will be trapped and in prison. But when the time came that we choose the wrong one still,even it will get broken but the hurt still functions well.
