If you want to be an intellectual, you have to know how to get into the club. To become a part of this group of elite individuals, you have to know which direction to go, first – whenever a situation arises. The secret direction, is a step backwards. That step backwards is the space where your brain does its best work. Your higher intellect works at peak levels when you are quiet, still, and distanced from the so-called strife in you life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cother\u201d club, the savages, take a step towards<\/em> strife, rather than a step back, and they swat away everything that they have declared to be problematic. They react with negativity, emotional tirades, and frustration. They dive into<\/em> irksome situations. The savages plunder and stomp around, until they get what they think they want. But it never works. Reactivity can never lead to peace, it just creates more war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people spend most of their time on team savage – on edge, not wanting to be \u201cbothered\u201d by problems. But those so-called problems are teaching the savages to put down their weapons and to step back. Most people don\u2019t even think of stepping back, first. But that small space, that metaphorical distance can make the difference between creative solutions and eruptive drama. Learn the secret step of the intellectuals. That step backwards, that space that allows your mind to think critically and creatively, is all it takes. Access the membership rewards of such a club and you\u2019ll be unstoppable. You are at your best when you are thoughtful, quiet, and still. Practice stepping back everyday, even at the first hints of frustration. If you can become a permanent member of the intellectual’s club, you’ll be unstoppable! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thursday, July 14, 2022 If you want to be an intellectual, you have to know how to get into the club.
