“For all its accolades and celebrated recognition as sound guidance, I have personally noticed that sometimes, 'follow your heart,' is really bad advice.”

Meaning

This reads as a caution against treating intuition as an all-purpose answer. It suggests that a heartfelt impulse can be sincere and still lead badly when emotion crowds out judgment, especially in decisions that need patience, data, or outside perspective. It lands when someone is tempted to make a big choice on feeling alone, and needs a reminder that inner desire is not always the same as good guidance.
