Is It Better To Go With Your Gut Or Your Head In Life?

[cmotherofpirl]

There is a difference between a gut reaction that could save your life, and being apprehensive about long term consequences. If you are not a bit apprehensive about a choice either is not that important or you have to think on it a bit more. EVERYBODY is a bit tense about the future. Work like its all on you, trust because its all on God.

What if your gut says that if you never try for this, you could spend the rest of your life regretting it and wondering what if it could have worked, and your head says that something else is a safer, practical way to go?

I think it depends on what it is, what it costs ( emotionally, physically, spiritually ), and if it heading you where and who you want to be in 10 or 20 years.

Both. I go with my gut instinct at first, then back it up or try to disprove it with my head. Usually my gut is right but when it isn't, my head corrects it. Except for that time I tried to light a paper towel soaked in grease on fire under my girlfriend's car...
