Lost opportunities or smart choices?

What happens when at a point in life, you are faced with a situation that has two solutions….one that requires you to listen to your heart and move according to your emotions and the other that wants you to use your brain and act practically?

If you move forward and give in to your heart…you might be happy for the rest of your life…and experience things that you have always dreamed of …but the happiness has strings attached to it…and can make you face:
• Temporary joy...and then remorse
• Criticism
• Unhappiness for people you care about
• Unfulfilled expectations
• No option to turn back

While if you listen to your brain…you will get out of the situation and continue with your life as before…regretting of not having the courage to experience your dreams for as long as you live.

A difficult situation….but which most of us often face in our lives…as different circumstances surround us…and the matter of what you give priority in life to…comes in effect….
Your feelings…your commitments…your dreams…your ambitions…your beloveds' happiness…your morals…your ideals…or your goals?

Some acknowledge when they face such situations and think hard and easily select one of the two paths…
Some are not even adventurous enough to want to face such a situation and avoid it with all their might…
While there are others who resort to a two-way solution..where you want to sail in both the boats….the balancing act on which can either drown you finally….or force you to jump in one of the boats just before capsizing….

Though it depends from situation to situation….it is easy to categorize oneself on a broad level…

Which one of these people are you?
