Following Your Heart

[MyDixieRect 2,061]

So we've all received this piece of advice at one point or another in our lives but, in all honesty, who here considers it good advice? What do you do if your heart tells you to confess to the boy/girl who either has a partner or is interested in someone else and you know it? Aren't you just setting yourself up for hurt? Or when your heart tells you to try and fight a bully physically bigger and stronger than you to protect someone you care about?

 

Does following your heart do more harm than good? What do you guys think?

 

Wow this whole post was made using only questions...wasn't it? (Sorry had to add that at the end, didn't I?) Or else then this whole post wouldn't be made entire of questions, would it?

 

OK, seriously what do you guys think?

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Tbh whenever I here this follow your heart advice from someone, it automatically reminds me of kingdom hearts even if the situation doesn't call for it. Honestly this whole follow your heart business, if anyones given me the most advice on that it has to be from kingdom hearts lol.

 

My opinion on follow your heart? I think in some situations it could be good, if you're just setting yourself up for hurt, you may hurt but what else do you have to lose? Idk your heart will have the answer ;p

I think it's good to follow your heart, but at least have some common sense about it hahaha. Out of the many things Kingdom Hearts has taught me, it's to follow my heart. OR ELSE I'LL BE SWALLOWED BY THE DARKNESS

 

But no obviously Kingdom Hearts is a bit different than real life (unfortunately haha), so do what you think is best, live your life the way you want it, whether you follow your heart or not.

 

HOORAY FOR CHEESY STUFF. DID I MENTION I LOVE FRIENDSHIP AND TEAMWORK?? YEAH!!!!!!

Hmm, not sure. This follow your heart thing... I would think twice before following ''it'', because, by following your heart, we usually do the first thing we think, but, like i said before, i prefer to take some time to think.

 

Well, of course, if it is a really important situation, like protecting those that are dear to you, there's no time to think indeed.

tutti frutti. If there is a song about doing that, or something close to it, it can't be all bad. But then again there is Xehanort.

first off that whole post was all questions second should you follow it? nice question.

at times its good, for example when your fighting to protect someone or you love someone, or you want the Gold medal in the olympics but at times it can also get you hurt and make you heartbroken. so my answer it to follow your heart,only in dire situations.

Neat song. I will definitely listen to my heart if a girl is calling me. But it's not always that obvious.

Well I don't know really. I mean the guy I love hes straight and he knows I love him a lot. It kind of hurts a bit not to be loved back the way I love him by the only person I have ever loved and most likely ever will :tongue: But I'm just glad we're best friends at least.

Heart is crucial, but so is brain. You need dreams to make life worth living, but you need logic to help you reach those dreams in a way that doesn't screw over yourself and others. Go ahead and follow your heart, but at the same time, weigh the consequences of your actions, and be smart as to how you follow your path. It's my personal philosophy you need heart and logic in equal measure to get the most out of things.

 

If only life were more like KH. All you gotta do is believe in your heart and you're set. You may even get a nifty key to go along with it.

Everyone makes mistakes and life is never perfect. There will always be good and bad advices along the way. What you think you can do can lead to many different paths in life. It's a mystery, full of surprises, and full of curiosity. Exciting or not, we're bound to face what lies ahead.

[Majesticrose 2]

I think it can sometimes be good advice.

Your question on why set yourself up for hurt? Sometimes, you have to. If it is confessing to someone: you just have to let it out.

If it is standing up for your friend: It is to show you care, and tried. Putting your bravery to the test.

Sometimes following your heart can be selfish. For example if you go for your best friends wife/husband. (Random, first thing that came to mind.)

But also sometimes, you have to be selfish. Because, if you aren't going to look out for yourself, who will?

I learned in psychology that those that are selfish, live a happier life. Because they do what they want to do.

I'm not saying people should be selfish. I for one, try not to be.

I actually dunno where i'm going with this... I got off track lol.

But uhm, follow your heart. Sometimes the best.

Listen to your brain first. Other cases, sometimes the best.

But, whichever you choose. Do not regret!

 

Btw, LOVE the songs: WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER

and

LISTEN TO YOUR HEART

I know, right? Aren't headaches just the worst! But sometimes you have to screw others over to get to the top. Sometimes you even gotta screw yourself too for a bit. What do you do then? Some of the most successful people were either homeless at some point or college/high school dropouts. That's kinda screwing yourself.

 

"Go ahead and follow your heart, but at the same time, weigh the consequences of your actions, and be smart as to how you follow your path." I shall. Thank you, kind sage.

 

Yush! Follow the hearts and you'll find the way. Thank you, Master Aqua Yen Sid. You'll even meet a bunch of friends for lyf with that key!

 

Woah, you actually took the time to read all that? I'm honored, thanks bud, that means a lot haha

 

Of course, I did! You're welcome.

Everyone says that at some point but you'll meet someone else eventually, you're still young.

But what if your best friend's wife tells you she loves you and you feel the same? Do you make her live for the rest of her life with someone she doesn't love or do you follow your heart and break up a family?

Hmmm, good point. Personally, I don't believe she should go the rest of her life being with someone she does not love. Because, it will most likely do more harm then good. She would have to keep up a charade. Pretending everything is okay, when in her heart it isn't. Then she might become resentful and take it out on the children. What if she blames them for the reason she can't leave her husband? This is just the extreme case of course. If she goes for the man she loves. It will hurt the husband. And the children would be devastated. But people go through divorce and remarry all the time. I'm not saying it won't screw up the children. It could lead to that as well. But sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Now, some people might say, the woman shouldn't leave her husband. She should make a sacrifice for her kids. And thats what mothers "should do" But there is more then one kind of sacrifice. And I don't believe this is one that should be made. But thats just this senerio of course.
