They say there are three components that goes into our decision making, that essentially make up our entire being: the logical mind, the soul, and your heart. Often times we find ourselves in conflict it's because often times they are not all aligned. So when do you use your head and when do you use your heart?

​

Women, as feminine beings are often understood and associated with the more emotional beings. While it's good to have that as a part of a nurturing characteristic as mothers, caregivers and lovers, it does not always serve you well in the workforce and in business. Men, on the other hand, the masculine spirit of our species, are often recognized and expected to be rational and logical, often accepted to be lacking the sensitivity to the emotional aspects of what is lacking in women. If we can intermingle and mix the two complimentary energies (like the yin & yang), we can find a greater balance between the two opposite genders and run unto less conflicts with more understanding of one another. This applies not only to characteristics of the opposite genders, but also interacting with people having these gender characteristics. We should learn to separate those situations and not always "let our heart lead", while sometimes difficult to avoid being overwhelmed by our feelings. Decisions driven solely by our feelings can lead us into irrational thoughts and incorrect judgement judgement. In order for us move forward and move past those overwhelming emotions that are binds us, we need to release, break free and strike a balance*.  We can maintain nurturing characteristics and friendliness by still being completely rational.
