'follow Your Heart', What Does This Mean? by peedeeasobie(m): 12:31pm On Apr 11, 2015
I have heard and seen advices from people to others seeking suggestions or guidance.
One advice I'm yet to understand is this 'follow your heart'.
This doesn't make sense on so many levels.

1. How accurate will the person's heart be? The heart isn't always a sure guide if not, many who wrote their hearts in an exam would have had the best results.

2. How do you distinguish between your heart and your head? How do you know what the heart is saying and what the head is saying? How do you know the most accurate?

3. What is the difference the heart, the head and the mind? Which one should be chosen?

4. What issues should make you consider your heart or your head? If its a financial issue, which should you choose? If its an emotional matter, which should be chosen, heart or head?

5. A person seeking advice doesn't know the reliability of his/her heart or head hence the need for advice. Telling him to follow his heart is like telling him to do a guess work.

Adequate and accurate information is needed at all levels instead of resorting to the guess work called 'follow your heart'.

Guys/ladies, what do you think?

The heart's primary function is to pump blood. Secondarily it also react to danger by beating so fast or abnormally. It reacts to emotions by skiping beats. The brain control the heart, the brain pass information to the heart which reacts in turn. As for ur question "follow ur heart" it is a proverb which has so many meaning. For somebody to tell u follow ur heart from my perspective is that u knw what u want, and when u see something that meet to ur standard u go for it. Thanks

Financial issue has to do with one following their head, and applying intellect. Such issues are to delicate to be left to the heart.

Emotional issues is expected to come from the heart. And 'follow your heart' means one ought to do what they feel like doing, what their heart tells them, without any benefit of thought process. Although one is expected to follow their heart they should also take their head along. One's heart could mislead them to a shallow path that will lead to a break down.

I guess those who once said only fools fall in love must have fell for the 'follow your heart' saying and it lead to their heart shambled at some point.

Let us go spiritual.

Jeremiah 17:9 says "the heart is more treacherous than anything else and its desperate, who can know it?.... Nobody

Matthew 15:19 also says that "out of the heart come wicked reasoning, murders, adulterers, sexual immorality,thefts,false testimonies, blasphemy. "

So, do u still wanna follow your heart? undecided

Look at this scenario!

A pretty lady comes into ur apartment almost unclad trying to seduce u,.. will u follow ur heart or brain?

Wat if you found out you had no condom, and she begs u to give her raw sex, will u follow ur heart or your brain?

Let say an individual mistakenly sent #500,000 into ur account during a time u are dead broke, will u follow ur heart or brain?




To listen to the full version of this sermon, Pls kindly attend tomorrow service at.... the heart and brain evangelical ministry, 9am
Every Sunday. And don't forget to come with loaded pockets.. Remember...

Well, I feel that's why you need to first mend your heart and then follow it, not your brain.

Of course we are in no way speaking in absolutes here, I'm guessing this isn't a follow your heart ONLY or your brain ONLY kind of thread, but more of a which should lead more.

So as you rightly said, out of a wicked heart comes wickedness, but you failed to also state that out of a kind heart come kindness.

Our conscience allows us to know if our hearts are aching, we only reason away this ache with rationalizations from the brain.

If your heart aches, heal it first, then follow it.

Yes out of the heart comes kindness, love, emotions etc depending on how soft the heart is.. Because I know of some folks whose heart is as rigid and strong as the wall of Jericho...
Re: 'follow Your Heart', What Does This Mean? by Misterpaul(m): 3:12pm On Apr 11, 2015
I use to follow my heart. But after I discovered that the heart is not so smart, I started following my head.

But, really according to science, the heart doesn't produce or cordinate thoughts, it merely an organ that pumps blood that is carried by the veins and all that. I don't know why people say such thing as follow ur heart.
Atleast, the head is where the brain is located and we all know the brain cordinates feelings, emotions and produce thoughts in humans.
I think its makes more sense to say follow your head(mind/brain) which may mean acting according to what your instinct tells you or what you feel is right.
Re: 'follow Your Heart', What Does This Mean? by talktrue1(m): 5:06pm On Apr 11, 2015
you are following your head when you reason that what you are about to do is bad and you desist from doing such. Just like saying No to sex when your ex came tempting

you are following your heart when you agree to do something because you are in need or emotions. just like agreeing to the example above
