Our intellect is our greatest tool. But it often fools us.
It is great at spinning narratives that justify our actions, or lack thereof.
Yesterday I didn't feel like exercising and it came up with a damn good reason.
Last month, I did something stupid at work and it almost made me believe that it was someone else's fault.
Irony is: the more special we think we are, the more our intellect deceives us.
***
When it comes to life's most fundamental things (eating healthy, exercising, taking accountability, parenting, treating others with respect, etc.), my goal is to completely disown my intellect, be the most dull person on the planet, and do what needs to be done. Without any narrative or excuses.
Please wish me luck!
