In life, I believe it’s a must to have a balance of both. At first, I chose to follow my heart in order to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. After high school, I knew I didn’t want to go to college, even though society believes that’s the next appropriate step to take. It just wasn’t for me. I knew for a fact I wouldn’t be happy back in school. Instead, I chose to join the workforce right away, whilst doing the one thing that I’m happiest doing and have the skill and passion for. After figuring that out, I began following my head which has allowed me to make the choices I needed to make to be independent. I think it’s important for people to follow their instincts and a lot of the time, your instincts happen to be based off of what would make you happiest. At least, they are for me. But you have to have logic and rational thinking in order to achieve successfully what your heart wants you to do.
