SEC17/W2| While making decisions, what do you prefer to follow: heart or mind?

Asalam alikum, I hope all steemian fellows are doing great. Topic of the contest about decision making is great. I want to share my opinion through this blog. I would love to invite @aaliyarubab, @drhira, @noortatima and @abdulrakib to this contest.

What is your preference while making decisions, heart or mind?

I go with the follow. Sometime it is mind and sometime it is heart that helps me decide. It is not that every time my decision is correct but I learn from every single thing happening in my life and analyze my decision and its outcome. And this analysis helps me in making right decisions in the future.

Do you think we need both in terms of making decisions? Describe reasons.

Yes I think we should consider both mind and heart in decision making. Sometimes it may seem that what we are doing is right logically but our heart is not satisfied because we sense something that logic cannot describe. For example if any of our family member is not good to us and trouble us time and again. We cannot cut off ties with him or her because we feel bonding with that person. So logically we can maintain a healthy distance but leaving that person for good is not the solution. Family needs patience and tolerance. Not only family even society needs patience and tolerance, and that the way to be a good and functional unit of society.
It has happened to me that at times that even listening to your heart puts you in trouble. So what I mean to say that we cannot classify it on hard and fast rule. We should consider both heart and mind but above that it is really helpful if you have a sincere and knowledgeable person with whom you can discuss your issue and based on the discussion you reach to a conclusion.

Are you an emotional or a practical person in real life?

Starting from my childhood I was very emotional person, I would get attach to people and even to their presents. I made a lot of decisions in emotional state that affected me badly. Uptill a certain point I was not even confessing it because emotions were important for me. But now I have started realizing that seeing any issue in its real sense is something that we should do and encourage our youngsters. In the long run what matters is that we were right or wrong. We can take our life and the decision that we make positive but people around us wont. So being realistic is important in life. So I would sum up that I was emotional person but now I am trying my best to be practical and realistic.

Do you have any suggestions for youth which one they should follow in their day-to-day lives?

Yes, of course, I would suggest everyone analyze situation from both perspectives and forecast its outcome. Do not follow blindly heart or reason, analyze situation, and discuss it with someone you trust so that whatever happens both heart and mind are satisfied and we learn happily.
