Is it better to listen to your heart or your brain?

When you have a tough decision to make you may often hear people say, "Listen to your heart." Many times in life our decisions aren't based on good vs. bad, they are simply choosing from two good options. People will mull over their decisions, listing pros and cons and analyzing consequences of each one.

Listening to your brain means to think logically. Listening to your heart means to think with passion and conviction. Neither one is better than the other and it is best to use each depending on the circumstances.

For example, it is probably best to listen to your heart when making a decision about love or relationships. Using your brain would be better for decisions about career planning, education or financial situations.
