Why do we have phrases like "follow your heart," "gut instinct," etc? Why is it not like listen to what your mind tells you?
I think that your mind is the rational voice, your heart is the irrational voice, and your gut is just first impulsive instinct. Following your heart may not always seem like the most rational thing to do but a lot of the time its what is right for you deep down. Your heart holds your secret wishes and hopes and dreams (as corny as that sounds) and your mind distinguishes whether or not to listen to what your heart is telling you. Your gut instinct is usually right the very first second you think of it. Thats why when you second guess yourself, it leads to more complications or wrong answers. (like multiple choice test questions. everyone has second guessed an answer, changed it, realizing they had the right answer before they changed it.) Listening to what your mind tells you can also get complicated because it takes into account what everything else is saying. Your mind may think: 'I need to get some homework done'. Your gut instinct says 'I should get some homework done.' and your heart usually wanders to anything but the homework.
So my question is
What do you think is the best to listen to? Your heart, mind, or gut?
