I’m now in a situation where I’m confused whether I should be feeling what is right or I should be thinking about what is right. (Tama ba yung sentence?)

There are a lot of people who are ‘torn’ between their jobs and their feelings. Their job has a set of rules. It follows a standard. You follow those rules because that is what their duty calls for. But what happens if fate decided to give you something (I don't know what word to use...) that would make your life turn around? What would happen if you are faced with the great challenge to use your heart or to use your mind? What would you choose?

Something came up. Some things came up. You know exactly what to do. That is what everybody says. You even agree that what you are about to do is right. But, something inside you tells you to stop. "That's not the right thing." You began to think. You doubt yourself. "Is it the right thing to do?" Now your mind is getting confused. Suddenly, everything that was clear to you became blurry. You are now clouded. Your judgment has been shadowed by a voice within. You ponder. Hard. Night and day. Day and night. You pray that somebody would give you the answers but to no avail. You search for the answers. And when you think that you finally found the answers, you find out that you made the wrong decision. Yes, you learned from it. But if you had chosen to use your brain you wouldn't have gone through this. Or maybe, if you had chosen to use your heart everything would turn out to be the way you wanted it to be.

If only I had...

I know that life is not perfect. There are problems, temptations, decisions that make it worth living. That makes us live life. That makes us love living our life. But how do you know what to use in making decisions?
