Choosing Between Your Head and Your Heart

Life choices are hard. And often times you gotta choose between reason and emotion. Not always, but a lot of times your head and your heart are in different places when it comes to a choice. Let's chat about it.

My dad has always told me a motto that I truly live by; do what you love, love what you do and be the best that you can be. 

I totally agree with you as always x

[GibbyH.Goober]

I always over think things or over feel things. I can never seem to find a middle ground

[maggiem]

I just really love how you can take some of the thoughts swarming in my head and form them into words. Truly a gift <3

[no.otherglow]

I love the part regarding life is too short not to commit to anything! Cause I've been coasting my whole life and I feel empty not being able to commit to anything. You seriously give me the best pep talks

[HonestlyHonor]

I love these chat vlogs so much(: Question- if you think about the decision too much, couldn't you miss opportunities?

[TheOfficialShow]

Connor, you deserve so much more attention. These videos are good-hearted and well put together! Keep up the greatness! ❤️

As my university career comes to a close, I've often pondered what will become of me the second the degree is placed in my hand. I've spent most of my time attempting to decide between moving to California to pursue a career, but the other part of the time has been spent contemplating quitting all together. I've been in a rut lately, as far as building my portfolio. I haven't been able to sit down and work on something in an honest sense, and it's gotten to be frightening. On the one hand, I look at what I've done, and how far I've come and I'm proud of it. But on the other, I wonder if I've done enough. If my good is great and not just kind of "alright". I think the head and the heart debate comes from a deep seeded need to be our very best. To be better than yesterdays version of ourselves, and I think that that could lead to destructive patterns. For the most part it is always interesting to push ourselves further than we've previously gone, but couldn't it be just as dangerous to write ourselves off as needing to be challenged? I dunno. I think for the most part that I'm just rambling.I should probably get back to work.

Hope you have a good weekend.

Ugg stop having such good advice! You're making me actually use my head :P

I love it when you make videos like this. Walking around, talking it out, outside style. And they always end up being very well thought out and edited. Plus I really enjoy watching the scenery change.

I think it's important to keep in mind that all decisions should not be based on feelings. If we only did things we felt like doing at the moment, we may not do much at all. Our feelings are temporary; I do not believe they flow from the heart. It is our deepest desires and passions that are meant to instruct our path of life.

The more I watch your videos, the more I realise that our brains are INCREDIBLY similar in how they work. And that makes me feel less alone.
Wow, that sounded sad. Let's... just pretend that didn't happen.

[XnemiXsmile]

You talking makes me happy. I am currently in a house with negative people because I am a minor and can not yet leave. Your out look on life if very refreshing and simply makes me happy. My family members don't get that your attitude and out look on choices, things and general life is what make an experience or feeling a good one. They choose to be in a bad mood and I don't get why you would live your life like that. It is nice to hear an optimistic, self aware, and in-touch voice ;)

This video could not have come at a better time. I've recently found myself with the same struggle(stick to a practical career or go for journalism like I've always dreamed). This past weekend I realized that nothing makes me more happy than journalism and that if I want to be successful I have to give it my all. Thank you for doing what you do.

I always love what you have to say because you speak upon observation + experience. You say what you feel without saying everything that opposes it is wrong.

[tatianabacca]

This is awesome. Choosing between your head and your heart can be so difficult and once you find a balance there's a really peace in life. I made the decision to go to treatment for an eating disorder about six months back, and that was one of those times where my head and my heart agreed, even though it was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made. I got my life back because of it. Thanks for the video, Connor.

Hey Connor! Woah every time you post a vid it's almost exactly what I'm also going through... I really needed this video today I think I might of watched it 6 times by now. Honestly you are an inspiration, where that you are choosing to be happy and what you love. Most people don't do that and to see you actually do and go out to achieve you dream maybe crazy to most but amazing to the greater population. And to see you do that is pushing me to go and achieve my dream I truly felt it was unattainable. As soon as I started to focus on that I started to feel happy again. Like the happiness that I used to envy in other people. And when others saw me doing better they began to feel better too and excited for me. The positive vibes I'm feeling are pushing me forward. Not to say I have crappy days..we all do. But that's why I love that other video I'm not okay and others that show how even in the craptastic days you always seem to work through it. That's what makes your YouTube channel so unique. If you see this thank you for reading through all my rambling and thank you for being awesome!

[MattPalka]

I don't know a lot. The pie of knowledge really is infinite. Heart: we're more likely to act our way into a feeling. Head: feel our way into an action. Life: balancing choosing both of those and when to do either. The best opportunities for me are often those commitments I don't expect to be awesome. A few got me to host a kids tv show for two years, travel with and help create a youth leadership organization, sing vocal jazz, and collaborate with people on Youtube. Interested people are the most interesting. If you're interested and curious, there is so much to love.

THANK YOU CONNOR THIS IS VERY VALUABLE, I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST STEP TO SELF AWARENESS

[kclockette]

You always seem to have the right topics for your vlogs. 90% of the time, they coincide with what I'm going through.

[panicatdx]

i try to chose the heart path as often as possible. i decided that when i was about 15 and it completely changed my life for the better :) by the way your videos are getting better and more honest by every week and i think i really like it? yes, yes i do. ((p.s. i was always that kid who did the pro/con list and my friends were completely annoyed by it because it took way too long for me to decide which game to play))
