Are you currently in pursuit of what makes you happy? Do you follow your heart or brain? Why or why not?

I suppose we are all seeking what makes us happy, and it isn’t always the easiest thing to do. I have a really good job and get paid well, but I feel like I’m on autopilot.

My brain is at war with my heart. Here’s a typical 1:00AM conversation between the two:

Heart: You do realize that in order for Tbag to be happy you need to quit your job, regardless of the pay.
Brain: It’s a permanent position with stable income and retirement benefits. Leaving would mean more than three years of hardwork. Let it go.
Heart: True. Sometimes following your intuition to be happy means ignoring being rational.
Brain: What if it doesn’t work out, then what?
Heart: Then Tbag can contently say that he tried.

When it comes to a tough decision to make, do you follow the pragmatic and logical path? Or do you follow your intuition and the riskier path?
