Follow My Head or My Heart

Saturday was one of those open the windows turn on the record kind of days, so that’s exactly what I did. My roommate, who will always remain nameless (especially when discussing The Bachelor or The Bachelorette), and I listened to a few albums, including Hi Infidelity from REO Speedwagon. The record has great songs on it like “Don’t Let Him Go” and “Take It On the Run.” There’s another song on there that sparked some converstation between Unnamed Guy #1 (my roommate). You can listen to the song here:

The lyrics ask, “Should I follow my head or follow my heart?” My roommate and I decided the best option is to balance the two because if you only follow your head, you could end up exhausted, bored and alone. But if you follow your heart only, you could end up poor, homeless and jaded. By tempering your decisions with thought and emotion, you could end up wealthy, comfortable, happy and satisfied (but of course, there are exceptions to every rule). What about in dating or marriage relationships; should we follow our hearts or our heads? Is there a happy medium? Does this question yield different answers in a business scenario? Comment below, and as always… thanks for reading!

One thought on “Follow My Head or My Heart

  1. I think there has to be a balance. But one thing is for sure the heart(emotions) can be super deceiving! Marriage is ultimately a covenant with God and a covenant with the person you marry…so kind of like business! Marriage is also difficult at times with a lot of difficult things in life that occur because we live in a fallen world where even if you obey God perfectly and always do the right thing it does not guarantee that things are going to be pretty and perfect all of the time. You have to have your head on straight to be “successful” in relationships/marriage because a lot of how it ends up depends on your choices of how to deal with things that come about. As I get older I feel more and more like the weight should be less on the heart and more on the head…
