Listening to your heart or listening to your mind? Which is better?

Question

By listening to your heart, I mean trusting your self, all the mushy stuff that I don't like to get into.

Listening to your mind would mean common sense.

=)

Answer 1

Both. You need to weigh your decisions both rationally and passionately.  

Answer 2

I think you need to have an equal influence from both heart and mind to make the best decisions in your life.  The heart guides you on an emotional level, while the mind helps keep you rational in the given situation.  I think when people do use both equally they have a higher statistic of success in the given relationship.  Most people do like to make the decisions only basing things on the mind or the heart, but not both together.  

Thanks for reading!

Answer 3

combining the 2

Answer 4

Listen to both, then go with your gut.  

Answer 5

i don't know why but i'd say it depends..  

Answer 6

Always listen to your heart,,but be guided by your mind..Its much easier to fall astray,, or be misled  by acting on the emotions of the heart.. An honest evaluation of whats taking place in YOUR situation is ALWAYS the prudent course of action.. Impulse reactions,,on emotion can bring dire consequences.. Careful consideration,,will net positive and realistic conclusions.. The only thing that is a risk with thought,,is a little time !! On the other hand rash emotional judgment can net  heartbreak and ridicule !!  Which would YOU prefer?? I know what I would always want !!             SOLOMON

Answer 7

and by 'heart' you mean common sense in your mind? This question doens't make much sense, you would have to break it down more. Like, listening to common-sense or forget about emotion and think clearly. Which is better?
