When faced with the question, ‘should I follow my heart?’, many people decide to channel their inner Scottish warrior and follow the Braveheart philosophy: ‘Your heart is free, have the courage to follow it.’ Others may choose to decide more with their mind, their powers of reason and logic, like a chess master, poised and ready to make a play. Neither approach is better than the other but one could well suit your personality better, just keep track over time of your decision-making successes when they happen.
