Heart OR Mind? -who leads and who follows?!

We have many a times come across situations in life where there is a conflict between our heart and our mind. We don’t know to go with what? To chose what? Which one is right? HEART or MIND???

No, I’m not going to give you any philosophical recipe here or tell you what to chose. I’m only going to share an incident with you that might help you a little to know how it really works and how can we resolve this conflict.

I was just lying on my bed, getting bore, had nothing worthwhile to do and so a trail of thoughts started flowing in my mind, one of which really caught my notice.  So here, I’m going to share what happened with me today that struck me with a thought worth to share.

I had to go to a party with my parents tonight. The whole day I was making preparations for it, as in, getting my daily chores done on time, picking up on a elegant dress to wear tonight. I had all the reasons in my mind that why I had to attend this party.
But then, finally when the time came and my mother asked me again "Are you sure you'll accompany us to the party?" I gave it a second thought. After a busy day I was no doubt a bit tired by then but if I wanted to I would have easily gone for the party but I DIDN'T!!!

The reasons that were earlier in favor, soon turned out to be the reasons for "Why I should not attend this party?"

These days I'm avoiding my friends (not without any reason ofcourse!) and so initially I thought of this party a good chance to have my time off as there would not be any of my friends in the party. But, later the same reason gave me a thought of how bore will I be if I go to such a party where there would be no friends!
The dress that i had selected so excitedly suddenly did not go well with my footwears! LOL, and that was another reason that turned tables!
My best friend and my crush are generally too busy to have some time to talk before midnight, BUT then I thought, you never know if they get free early tonight by any chance and would want me to talk to them!
My brother wasn't going to the party (pre-decided thing!). Earlier I thought of it as he would get his alone time to study without any disturbance BUT later I thought what would I do without him in the party? There will be no fun!! 

So, what I want to say is: it is our "heart" that LEADS and our "mind" that FOLLOWS!!
