Choose Wisely

Gut, Mind, and Heart.  Some days these things all seem to have a will of their own.  But, they all function in your head.  Curious the way these guys can all agree or disagree.  Make the easiest of choices look like life or death.  I feel the need to look at these as i myself have a decision or 2 that is causing a bit of personal conflict.

MIND - Live long and prosper, logic above all else.  The Mr. Spock in all of us.  This usually gets a bad rap becasue mind requires us to do that which is most difficult for emotional beings...be objective and unbias.  A very powerful tool.  Yet when it comes to matters of love and relationships this guy usually finds himself on the sideline watching us make fools of ourselves.  Even in my case I probably dont use this one the most, but constantly look to it for a 2nd opinion.

HEART - If you had to make a list of all bad decisions made in this world.  This guy prolly gets the gold medal for making them.  Completely emotion driven.  His sole purpose in life is to defy logic.  Thats not to say they dont agree sometimes.  The basis for decisions made here dont have a lot of solid ground.  You can usually poke holes in the type of "logic" heart uses.  Common sense is at a minimum.  Street smarts dont play into the decision making process heart uses.  In fact, mood seems to be the number one factor.  And as fast as a person can go from pissed off to happy, so can the decision heart makes.  Need to be careful with this guy.

GUT - My personal favorite.  Thrives on instinct and intuition.  Usually responsible for most of the choices i make.  That is if i have to pick ONLY ONE of the three.  There have been studies done on gut.  If a person is truely in tune with their own mind and body then these studies have shown that choices made with a persons gut instinct can be up to 70-75% accurate.  Now there are cases where all 3 of these guys agree but typically from my own experience, gut usually favors only one of the other 2 at a time.  It can even be called the animal instinct if you will.  Makes its decisions on the most primal level. 

Now im not going to go into examples and things like that.  Anyone can take a decision they have made and relate to this in some form or fashion.  Which is right?  Which is wrong?  Well that really depends on the outcome of the choice.

But i will say this, and this is iron clad.  Every decision that is made, we think it to be the RIGHT decison at the time, every time.  You have the rest of your life to rip it apart.  but again that doesnt change the fact that we thought it was the right choice when we made it.  If you take that into consideration...we always make the right choice...at that moment.
