depends on the situation chief.

And whether if you follow one the level of grief the other will give you - sometimes your heart will push you one way but your head will articulate such strong doubts that it will never work, other times logic can be smashed in the face by emotion to the point it means little.

And then there are those awful times when they kinda cancel each other out.

One thing i will say - following your head tends to be more expedient when it comes to facing up to heartache and then moving on, as cold as that sounds. But that doesn't mean doubts should always win out.

Good luck mate - in London next week if you need el beero.

This is what I do:

1) I ask my heart if it's economically viable for me to follow my heart.

2) I then usually just do it anyway.

This is not conducive to a stress-free lifestyle. So my advice is probably best ignored.

Your head. I mean, it totally depends on the situation... but I find that's usually better to do the "right", logical thing than the emotional thing that you want to do, instead.

But your mileage may vary.

Which is of little help, I know.

If it's a necessity, try to stick with it until you can get a suitable replacement or repair. If it's a luxury, make a list of the pros and cons as to your quality of life if you keep it or leave it.

I guess this could be considered a "go with your head," but it's probably best to "go with your heart" to get a feel as to whether it's a necessity or a luxury.

Any background info? I presume this is more than the usual "Should I buy 200$ worth of TFs on eBay for a mere 175$ even though I'm broke?"

To which the answer is obviously yes.

Unless your heart says to go to a

hooker/drug dealer/serial killer/any evil or very dangerous type of person.

I would always say go to whatever your heart says.
