What do you do when your heart, mind, intuition, and gut disagree?

When you make a decision, what's the thought in your head as you're making it? Do you make decisions from your heart, mind, intuition, or gut?

What happens when all your major sources of imperative disagree? What if you ask God, and he tells you to defy your gut? Sartre would say something like, "it doesn't matter, at some point, we just invent choice."

My friend Rusty has a funny response: "Well, you can cross-out intuition, because that's pretty much your gut. And we eat when we're heart-broken, so gut beats heart. And we can't think when we're hungry. So, I'd say gut. Go with your gut!"

Imagine how powerful changing the source of your decisions could be. What if instead of always "going with the flow," you decided to be someone who "goes with his gut" or "follows God." Everything you do would change.
