Have you ever been in any of those situations when your head and heart pull you into opposite directions and you just can’t decide what to do?? It almost feels as if ur being torn into two parts ,both useless without another.. yet not together!!
I,myself have faced quite a lotta these kinda situations since I am a sorta confused person,not at all gud at making instant decisions.
So I did try to take help from people around me –my friendz ,family, relatives… but the advice they gave me .. didn’t always work!! They told me(as usual) to listen to my heart in such situations...(yeah rite.. this dialogue is a bit too common ..!!)and I did the same. They told me that it’ll not always be profitable but I will always be satisfied and happy with my decisions. I said Okay Preeti.. lets give this a try too!! So I started following my heart ,not really ignoring the head always but yes.. giving the heart a higher position.. so that it was always the final authority!! Well, it worked for a day… then a week.. a month… a year… but after that it was the biggest mistake I had ever done in my life(ohkay.. my life till now isn’t that big a period of time.. but even this short time I’ve spent on this earth is more than enough for making thousands of dreadful mistakes!!)..
Its’ okay to listen to ur heart one in a while or when the decisions are about small things or things dun really affect ur life and progress but for the important decisions of ur life always trust ur brain!! When ur brain takes a decision ,it may not always seem to be emotionally correct or be a bit too rational and not always satisfactory at the present moment but later in ur life when you look back n try to analyse the decisions of ur head ,you’ll never regret it… Whereas when you let ur heart take all the decisions you may feel emotionally gud , satisfied and happy but this feeling doesn’t last long everytime. Sometimes I felt that ma heart is a bit too irrational, unreasonable and logically incorrect and that’s when I regretted all I had done listening to my heart!!
I dun mean that one should always use only the brain and cut off the heart from urself .. or that one should just listen to the heart and head should be ignored… What I really wanna convey is that use ur brain and heart at the right places(although sometimes knowing that which is the right for what maybe a bit tricky!!).. so that u dun have to regreat 90% of ur decisions… let the other 10% be wrong ,after all u r a human n u can never be perfect… Nothing can be decided by ur heart or,they or head alone .. they always need each other and if u let them work together(there might be some fights.. but u can ignore them..),without letting any one of them overshadowing the other .. you’ll see the results..
As for me… I’ve learnt one thing…
If the heart fails.. people atleast try to revive it.. and sometimes they do succeed, but if the brainz dead.. u r dead.. and trust me no one even tries to revive you!!
