2 Comments Impulse v. Intuition
“It is better to have ignorance on fire, than knowledge on ice.” -unkown
Matt (MillionDollar) Murphey gave me this quote while trying to sell me into a piramid sceem…
In so many conversations it is clear to me that people follow their impulses, blindly.
We all have impulses, imediate desires that appear suddenly, and they are strong. An impulse is your body telling your mind to do something. Smoke a cigarrette, eat chocolate, ext. Basically your body say, “This is good! Let’s do it!”
I’ve personally always distrusted my own impulses. Those sudden urges rarely lead to anything good. I have a plan, and I’ve set a course to reach my goals. These impulses are ussually detrimental to my course, they stear me away from my goals. And so I do not act on them, not when they are strongest. I wait, Weigh their value, then, if the urge remains if it is condusive to my goals… I act.
I must differenciate between impulse and intuition. I believe in intuition, it is much the opposite of impulse. It is in essance your mind screaming in opposition of your body. It is a eurica, as if your mind is saying “stop, think about this for a second, this information needs to be pondered.”
For some reason impulse and intuition apear simultaniously, and almost always in opposition.
