Heart Choices

Gut instincts are just one of those things,
you either have them or you don't.
I always thought everyone had them.....
Do You?
It would be interesting to find out
how many people have gut feelings ....
And then of course,
do you follow your gut feelings?
Should you?

I used to ignore my gut instincts,
and often the result was disasterous.
Then through experience,
I learned to pay more attention to them.

I used to be confused at one time
about going by your heart or your head.
I started asking polls on this,
and got results that was 50/50.
The hardest thing for me
was to distinguish which of my feelings
was coming from my heart,
and which was coming from my head....
So I generally did nothing,
as I never knew which was which,
and was too afraid to follow either path.

Some say, go by your heart....
as it is where the true feelings lie,
and where your mercy is,
and you won't be happy
unless you obey your heart.

Then others would tell me
that your heart will betray you,
into doing things
that are not really in your best interest.
They would tell me
to go by your head,
because it knows what is best for you,
in the long run.
That your head is not fooled
by your emotions,
like your heart is.
Your head will set you straight,
and look at the long term posibilities
of your choices.

So your heart may ache for awhile,
when you let your head make the choices....
but the heart will heal,
and in the end.....
common sense,
previous experience, knowledge,
and discernment
will have made a better choice for you.
Do you agree with that?
How has it worked for you?

When all systems are go.....
and you are about to make
a very important choice
or decision in your life,....
does some tugging....
gut feeling.... secretly, yell
into your innner ear...."No...
don't do it!"
Something doesn't feel quite right !!!!

So what do you do?
The heart's choice,
The head's choice,
or the gut's warning??????
