Many are raised to conform to society and make decisions based upon rational thinking. Excluding any heart felt decision making. I will admit there have been a number of times wherein the rational & logical thought process have been spot on; however there has often been times when that spot on process has left a void. A void permeated by a fire sweet and true, and you are unable to establish why that burn has left you hungry and dissatisfied. The void which oftentimes leaves you feeling unglued. Should this continue? Only you can make that decision....head or heart?
Of course using your head is not without joyous moments in which you would not change. These joyous moments you would love to bottle up and retain in a time capsule. You have had a decent life, not perfect but decent nonetheless.
The void will cause reflections, reflections resulting in "What-ifs". What if I'd gone away to college? What if I had married at an earlier age? What if I had chosen a different career path? What if I had pursued my passion more aggressively? The What-ifs that leave puzzled interest.
Following the path of rationale/logical thinking will often lead to a predictable and typically safe and sometimes boring life. Is there anything wrong with that? No. Our rational thinking and decision making is oftentimes based upon what others have displayed, their opinions and how you feel you will be perceived , adhering to your 'responsibility' (conforming to society). However choosing to move forward based on emotions or your heart is a different avenue in which can bring forth additional learning and joy. It can open doors that you would not have had the key, because you did not allow yourself to be spontaneous. It of course may present challenges; but again these challenges are learning tools.
This is not to state rationale should not be in your repertoire of life, it is only to state explore both avenues.
Your heart will allow you to be you. Your world will not end in one fell swoop based upon a decision made from the heart. Thinking with your head sometimes has someone else writing your book of life.
