Background source _design in polish app
When it comes to decision making, one needs to be very careful as it has other results in the future. So in other not to feel bad of your decision take time and think about it before taking action. We may .ake decision out of anger or out of love that may affect us later in life.
Meanwhile let's see which to follow while making decisions with heart or mind.
It depends on what you are deciding on because the heart is more treacherous than any other thing and it is desperate, the heart is tricky. So much concentration should not be in the heart while making decisions.
There is a simple difference between the heart and the mind. The heart is to feelings while the mind is to thinking. That is why the heart most times, doesn't listen to the mind. So despite the force of logic the mind most time come up with, the heart overwhelms the mind most times.
Therefore , We must remember that the heart reasons, too, although not so much with logic but on motives, affection and of course desires of whether good or bad.
I will say yes because they both work together because if the heart doesn't agree to the mind plans doesn't work out or decisions are not verified.
For example when making decisions the mind will help you think about the results of it in the future and the effects, the cost of your decision and also how it will affect your emotions later. But the heart will work on it present feelings and convinces the mind to agree to it.
Moreover, the mind is in a better position to influence the heart, in making logical decisions, it could perhaps be on the basis of past experience Or in some cases the mind strongly urge the heart to take a certain decision especially if knowing the dangers involved in it, but if desire and affection for a certain thing have been built up several times strongly in the heart, the heart can win the mind and go ahead what it feelings.
That is the reason one needs to be careful while making decisions. Even decisions that has to do with feelings for example dating and marriage to be sure of the person you need to hold yourself a little bit emotional. Cut off those feelings and see how much bundle of love the other person have for you rather than allowing your love to overwhelm you.
I'm both
I'm always so emotional especially when someone hurt me so deeply. I always try so much to be strong but deep inside me I'm hurt and most times I cry so deeply especially if it comes from a very close friend or someone that is too hard to deal with or a person who had dead conscience.
When this happens I take a practical steps to repair the damage so I will be fine. But when my efforts is thwarted, I move on although it will take a very long time to forget it. I read books and people experiences about it and learn from them, prayer really helps me deal with it. This scripture helps me most 👇
Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.
_Philippians 4:6,7
But most times I am a practical person based on my profession, I do help in saving lives and I'm so much grateful for the privilege. So when it comes to life and the pains the person is going through, I turn off my emotions and work on practical remedy to help the person. The pains are temporary but the benefits will be permanent and it means their life.
Forever a person that has a cut and needs suturing, paying attention to cries ans allowing the cut may leads to infection and other effects on the wound that may even result in death but turning off my emotion and do the right thing saves lifes. I enjoy saving lifes and I was so nervous at first while taking the oath but now I'm proud that I'm doing even more than the oat I took.

Well, it depends on individual and their decisions on day to day living.
I can't tell someone that has the desire and the money to eat what he/she is hungry for not to eat in other to safe money. I will only play the part of the mind, telling you the outcome, the dangers and it is left for you to decide wether to go for it or not.
We love intensely from our heart, we forgive deeply from the heart, therefore, we need to trained our heart to do the right thing always.
What is more?
I have this two scriptural sayings for eto always remember wile making decisions.
My son, do not forget my teaching, And may your heart observe my commandments, 2 Because they will add many days And years of life and peace to you. 5 Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, And do not rely on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways take notice of him, And he will make your paths straight
_Proverbs 3:1,2,5,6
Listen, my son, and become wise, And direct your heart in the right way.
_proverbs23:19
This will help any young people to make good decisions
I will like to invite @mesola @sahmie and @alexanderpeace to take part in this contest.
Greetings ma’am and thank you for inviting me to be a part of this challenge,
Having gone to through your post, I must say that you have really dropped a lot of take home insights all in one writing. The heart and the mind are all important components of our decisions making and I personally feel we should consider the two when making decisions. You mentioned about being and emotional person, I think we share some similarities, sometimes are use my heart to make decisions and sometimes I use my mind. Just like you adviced, I think the most important thing is to do what is write and the use the one we deem most important to make decisions depending on the matter at hand. The most important thing is to always ensure we make the right decisions. I love the fact that you make mentioned that in your line of work you use your kind because the persons life needs saving and hence the persons cry shouldn’t be considered over the persons life. I shared the shared thoughts in my own write up too, we must do the needful and not allow sour emotions becloud our sense of reasoning when needed.
Thanks for so much insight maam. I enjoyed reading through your post. I wish you success in the engagement. And hope to read from you again.

Thank you peace for your support, I control my emotions a lot when I'm at work to get the best result. I appreciate your contribution
You’re welcome ma’am.
Saya rasa pandangan anda sangat tepat, teman. Hati dan pikiran punya cara kerja yang berbeda. Hati lebih ke perasaan, sedangkan pikiran lebih ke logika. Kadang hati bisa mengalahkan logika, jadi kita harus ingat kalau hati juga punya alasan sendiri, berdasarkan motivasi, kasih sayang, dan keinginan, baik itu positif maupun negatif. Semoga sukses di kontes ini 👍
Oh yes heart and mind is needed for concrete decisions making and this will affect us later in the years to come.
Thank you for your contribution 🙏
Thank you for sharing the importance of balancing the heart and mind in decision-making. Your personal experiences highlight the complexities of emotions and practicality. Encouraging youth to train their hearts to make the right choices is valuable advice for personal growth. It's crucial to consider both rational and emotional aspects for well-rounded decisions in daily life.
Thank you for your contribution and reading through my post, I appreciate

Just like you said it all depends on which one you want to use to make decisions. For me I believe the heart just like you also said is more desperate and cunny. Why the mine tends to have more creativity and balance because the mind involves the brain why the heart deals with only the emotions. At the end of the day both can be used to make decisions but you need to decide which one we go whether you will make the right decisions or wrong decision. So many people want to compare making red decisions with wrong decisions but the truth is they cannot they cannot be compared.
The more right decision will make the more our life end up in positivity and the more wrong decisions we make the more our life also end up in negativity. And that's why it is necessary that whenever it involved matters of decision making we are so careful and we don't rush to make decisions. One thing I strongly believe is there is no decisions that is small. Every decision is big and can be traced back to ending up in right ones for our life. There are some decisions I took last year that I am still a dirty even now which are negative. And also there some decisions I took last year but I'm happy I took them because it end up positive my life.
Whenever I want to make decisions what are the things that we help us to make right decisions or wrong decisions is for us to consider the future when making those decisions. Sometimes you need to see that and think this issues I'm about to make how we eat affect my future not only now but how will it affect my future in every as lot of my life. If you know that the heart will help you to make the right decisions use the art and if you know that the mind will help you to make the right decision also use the mind. Thank you so much for sharing so much of knowledge and information in this your post and I must say I really learnt a lot.
Oh yes we need to work with our mind as well while making decisions so it won't affect us in the future. Thank you for your contribution
¡Holaaa amiga!😊
Se supone que el corazón es nuestro mejor amigo pero, a veces lo dudo porque, sus traiciones son bestiales jajajaja pero, cuando lo unimos con la mente, tenemos la facultad de neutralizarlo y, de esa manera no corremos algún riesgo al momento de decidir.
Te deseo mucho éxito en la dinámica, un fuerte abrazo💚
You are saying the truth, therefore we should not depend on our heart while making decisions
Thank you for your support I appreciate
Yes you're very correct, the heart feels while the mind thinks. It is sometimes tough to make decisions and we need a good discernment of spirit to know if we are taking the right decision or not.
Wishing you success 💓
