The Right Way
Sometimes I wonder if God intended to make us the way we are,i.e did he place the right organs in the right place and were they meant to serve the same purpose as they are being used for? What if we were meant to use our hearts to think and the brain to feel all the emotional stuff,sounds weird.......I believe, unknowingly many of us do break the cardinal rule i.e letting the head rule.Lets take a simple example:You are preparing for a competitive exam,and having logically planned your schedule for the whole month you get down to business;but somewhere along the way,the beach head of doubt shows its ugly head,realisation dawns that you can never be winner,and have to contend being a winer.You lose focus , complacency creeps in, and the very thing happens, that you had known from the start:I'm a loser with a capital 'L'.

Technically speaking, the moment you decided to appear for the examination the tiny powerhouses inside your brain, the neurons produced impulses which carried the directions to your heart and to the blood vessels.Your heart started working overtime pumping blood,increasing the pressure.Adernaline from the glands,coursing through your veins invoked a sense of self assurance and confidence,and overall sense of invincibility,a feeling that you can take on the world.You reveled in the afterglow for quite some time.Upto this point,everything goes logically.But then the heart decides to take over the reins of control,this leads in two directions.

Either the same feeling of euphoria continues until you lose your rationality and become overconfident,else uncertainity plagues you: Can I better the performance of my contemporaries,and trust your instincts-the path is downhill from then onwards.
Now,the brain is continously doing its work assessing and assimilating data and giving a realistic picture but the heart supercedes
your judgement,here goes you logic down the drain......

The BIG QUESTION IS -HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE HEART TAKES OVER THE MIND ,AND HOW DO YOU AVOID IT?

The obvious answer is don't avoid it,just go with the flow,let the heart decide whats best for you ,that's providence.(Thats a separate topic altogether,and we can have a discussion sometime else).
But ratiocination tells you otherwise. Just think of it as a single chance to show that you are accountable for your existence and no matter what guides you ,the brain or the heart you have to prove worthy of the human race which has survived generations of wars(fought with both, the brain and the heart),disaster,epidemics and maliase to show that he can and he will ...........
