Follow our hearts or our logic?

This is a response to Karla's question should we follow our hearts or our logic? This is a difficult question. People always say to follow your heart because that will make you happy because that is what you truely want. However, it does make sense to follow your logic as well because thinking what could happend by making a decision could be better for you than just following your heart without even thinking about it. I personally always follow my heart. If there is something that I want, I go out and get it or do it. Over my twenty years in this world I have had good experiences and bad experiences just following my heart. For example, there have been times that I have decided to do things that I should not have and I was punished for these acts. On the other side of the matter I have followed my heart in getting something that makes me extremely happy and the decision to go for it was worth making. The question really can only be answered by what type of person you are and how you view the topic.
