Drake's New Video for "Find Your Love"; Should we follow are hearts or minds?

This is Drake's new video for "Find Your Love"





The video has a great story to it and we would like to speak on the metaphor it represents.  Drake decides to follow his heart and is probably killed for it in the end.  There has been a debate for the last half century over marrying for your heart or mind.  When marriages were prearranged or pre determined back in the past, the majority followed their mind.  Since our Western civilization has gotten away from that era, more people started to marry for love and followed their heart. 

Can you trust your heart in situations or is it better to let your mind lead you?  Following your mind might help you obtain a more rational outcome, but may make you less happy in the end.  Following your heart is a big gamble because you can either win really big or lose awfully hard.  So what is the answer to this debate?

We say a little bit of both, you just have to pick and choose your battles.  Use your mind while following your heart.  When it comes to matters of relationships and love, following your heart is the best thing as long as you keeping things realistic. 

Example:If you loved somebody you know your family and friends disapproved of, you could decide to follow your heart and completely disregard everything they say, but you could also follow your mind stop the pursuit of your beau because all your loved ones disapprove of them.  In dealing with this, a combination of your heart and mind would be the most valuable and reap the most benificial.  Being smart enough to listen to your family's concerns would help ease the tension amongst them and give you things to think about, but letting YOU be the final judge on the relationship would be the heart part. 

This can be applied to so many things in life, not just your love life.  Using your mind to follow your heart will not only help you be rational in your decision making, but also allows you to live life to the fullest and happiest!
