mind ambition

trying to kill my ego even as I am consumed by it

738 notes

You get your intuition back when you make space for it, when you stop the chattering of the rational mind. The rational mind doesn’t nourish you. You assume that it gives you the truth, because the rational mind is the golden calf that this culture worships, but this is not true. Rationality squeezes out much that is rich and juicy and fascinating.
Anne Lamott on intuition vs. rationality, alongside similar sentiments by Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs (via curiositycounts)
