"My Way" is the quintessential American song of the 2oth century, and sums up a very seductive, self-centered philosophy.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
I'd have no problem with expression "always follow your heart" expunged from the language- "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9

That's a good point. But the expression is used in two ways. Sometimes people use the expression to mean, "do whatever moves you, regardless of circumstances or the effect on others." At other times, the expression means "to follow that which you know, deep down, to be right."
