DESCRIPTION

"They" say to trust your instincts. True enough, but which ones?

TRANSCRIPT

Second Instincts

You know that little voice in your head?

Yeah. That one.

The voice that says

ATTACK

The voice that says

MISLEAD

The voice that says

The voice that says

INDULGE

The voice that says

BETRAY

That one.

It's wrong.

Well, it can be.

(But that's the point.) 

That voice is your first instinct.

And it's hard-wired. Or close to it.

It told cavemen:

Fight!

Run!

Eat!

Mate!

hubba hubba

In other words,

To make the most of the power they had.

To make the most of the power they had.And that wasn’t a lot.

Which means...

When you listen to that voice

without questioning it

When you act

without thinking

You might feel powerful.

You might feel powerful.

At least for a minute.

But really, you’re giving your

power away.

You’re giving it to your (inner) caveman.

thanks!

Here’s the thing...

You're not a caveman.

You're not a caveman.(Even if you act that

way sometimes.)

You're much much

more powerful

You're much much

more powerful

You're much much

more powerful

You're much much

more powerful.

You have something he doesn't have:

Second instincts.

You can act.

You can act. And think.

You can think. Then act.

hubba hubba

So that little voice?

Listen to it.

(It’s trying to protect you, after all.)

But question it.

Doubt it.

Tell your caveman:

Stop.

Listen.

THINK

Then act.

‘Cause that’s where the real power is.
