The key to succeed with your health: Intelligence or Insanity?
I am convinced that it takes a certain amount (meaning above average) and KIND of intelligence to succeed in achieving true health. What do I mean by a certain kind of intelligence?
What does intelligence mean for me? I can tell you that I don’t just mean I.Q which is only one kind of intelligence and this fact is often overlooked when people speak about i.q. In fact, there is no agreement in the scientific community that I am aware of regarding the definition of intelligence and actually even the story behind i.q. makes it quite a shaky way to measure it (source for last sentence: Genome by Matt Ridley which I read 3 years ago and just remembered how great of a book that was). Funny how things just pop into my mind. Must be all the fruit, heheh…
My definition of intelligence certainly involves:
* honesty
* intellectual curiosity
* perseverance
* self reliance
* compassion
hmmm… what else?
What do you guys/gals think, do the dumb and lazy have a chance? In this day and age that is. If there is a couchbanana, videogameplaying, date munching, mango smoothieholic clearskinned teenager living this way just for the hell of it, I’m certainly not aware of one. Yet. Maybe the future. Maybe our grandchildren. You know, when 811 lifestyle just becomes…. “lifestyle”.
Or maybe we just have to be crazy to be on this path.
It sure would explain why I am on it.
