Being making the simplest decision to the one that determine the life and death, it has never been easy when "more than one option" is made available. It is and will always be a constant battle between "what the heart wants" and "what the heart needs". Still, some people tend to dwell inside their feeling and make judgement based on what the heart wants rather than what it needs. Once your heart is involved and soaked into this mess- making decision, it would not offer a logic selection of options. Instead of one right answer, the heart would wants the last answer to tick: "all of the above"; Yes. Heart would decide what is/are comforting to them. It does not care the instructions given. "The heart wants what it wants".
Then, who to decide which option to adopt when we are stranded between more than two options? I would say the brain. The mind. You see, our mind is somehow interconnected with our heart. I do not know which bundle of neurons that responsible for this, but one thing for sure; they (the heart and the mind) mind each other's businesses. It may seems like the heart is more prominent and commonly described as dictator of the body, nevertheless it would bow down to brain/mind when the brain/mind decides to rise and does demonstration. Brain/mind is the lost King. When brain/mind decides, the heart will shut up. "The mind chooses what it needs" rather than what it wants.
Making decision whether or not to do something has largely been impacted by the heart and the mind. Sometimes, it is better off without any intervention of the heart. and sometimes it is better if mind is left out of the discussion room. Deciding with heart I would say be very carefree and lead to a relaxing mood of live. You would bungee-jump of the bridge or go rafting along the Grand Canyon when the heart rules. The heart desires the best state of you. It doesn't include health and risk assessment in making decision. Yes it doesn't.
The mind directs more on what the best you can achieve, even if you're not on your best suit. It includes into the list; the benefits that you will have and the limit that you will face if each option is selected. It gives selection of the best answer to the current dilemma. I would say using mind alone is too rigid. One would decide to wake up and study at four a.m. in the morning or climb the Everest when their minds decided.
The intertwine of both heart and mind would offer a great solution. Put an element of "what you want" and "what you need" in every dilemma you're thrown into. Then you get to not only enjoy the decision you make (by the heart), but also achieve the highest and choose best option (with the mind). It's a win-win situation for both your needs and your fondness.
Decide with both to as you're living with both mind and heart. Let them decide in democratic way and may the best be decided! Best of luck people!
