These things may sound nice and good but following your own heart or trusting in yourself are forms of idolatry, they are sins that can damn your soul to Hell for all of eternity. Do not be deceived by the things of this world that draw you away from the Lord especially the sin of self righteousness.
But there is Good News. Turning away from your sins and putting your trust in Christ ALONE (not yourself) can save you from the wrath of God that is to come and you have God's word on that.
The heart is deceitful and wicked.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 (NASB)
But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
Proverbs 3:5-7 (NASB)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
