Ignore every Disney film you've ever seen and don't follow your heart



Most of us grew up on Disney movies and many of us are watching them all again with our kids.  I love them, but there's one Disney mantra that runs through every film that is a bit problematic:

Follow your heart.

This short video, by a man who, in my opinion, is one of the sharpest minds in the American media, argues that we should NOT follow our heart, but instead following something else, something far, far more important than even love, happiness, or feelings.  It is, in fact, the most important thing you will ever have.

This is not a marriage video, but the concepts, I believe, when applied to marriage, are crucial to its success and, indeed the happiness that one acquires through it.

The wisdom here is worth the 5 minutes it takes to watch.
