Heart Over Mind; Mind Over Heart
There is this popular saying that I bet all of us have heard, "Follow your heart, but take your brain with you."
Ang dali lang sabihin noh, ang dali lang din basahin. But when the time comes that you'll be in a situation where you have to decide either with what your heart feels or what your mind says, it is confusing. So ano nga ba pinagkaiba ng dalawa?
When we say heart over mind, this is when we come up with decisions using our feelings rather than thinking about it thoroughly. Not necessarily na hindi na natin pinag iisipan ang mga desisyon natin, but we decide on what we think would make us feel happy. Ito yung "Life is short, so do what makes you happy." On the other hand when we say mind over heart, this is when we analyze the situation, then tinitimbang kung anong mas nakakabuti para sa lahat, and think of the best option for everyone. Ito naman yung "Do what is right and what is good for every one". Siguro on this one, may slight na pagka martyr ka because you will have to set aside what you feel and prioritize first what is best for all.
The way I know myself, I am a heart over mind kind of person. Not all the time, but siguro most of the time? 😂😂 Kaya nga "marupokness" exist eh hahaha kasi we decide with our heart. We go on where we think we'd be happier. Kaya nga may mabilis ma inlove, may mabilis masaktan, may mabilis magpatawad, even if we know that we could get hurt again, or there will be consequences that would involve hurting other people's feelings in the process. Hindi lang din sa lovelife, but also in choosing our career path. May iba na gustong gusto maging isang Nurse, pero ang gusto ng parents niya ay maging isa siyang lawyer. Then that's when you're torn between following what your heart desires or what you think would make your family happier and be more proud of you.
Ideally, both the heart and mind should be used fairly and equally. How? I don't know. 😂😂 I really don't know hahahahaha promise ang dali lang talaga sabihin but when you're in the moment of deciding, labad sa ulo 😂😂. Imagine how amazing it would be if all of us can decide through the facts and at the same time with compassion. But siguro that will be very unlikely to happen because there will always be one that would dominate. Also, it would depend on the situation and on the person involved. May kanya-kanya naman tayong paraan on how we deal with things. Siguro, my only advice is to be very careful which path to take, and don't just choose the easier or the safest one, but choose the one that is best for everyone, and for yourself.
I cannot also tell you which one to take - heart over mind or mind over heart - I'm just a human lang din na still figuring out life. The best one for you to consult this with, is God. Let Him decide for you, listen to what He says or what He shows, that would help you decide. God knows what's best for all of us, or if not best, He knows where we can learn the best lesson. Right now, I am in a situation where it involves choosing between feelings and facts, and honestly pagod na akong puyatan to and pagod na rin akong mangdamay pa ng ibang tao hahahaha. Kaya I just surrendered it all to Him, I'll let Him redirect me sa kung saan ang mas tama. I don't know when and how, but I'm willing to wait for His GO signal.
To my fellow human beings na are going through the same, laban lang. Mas maganda ang buhay pag tinimplahan din ng pagsubok 😘.
