About this quote

Our physical senses constantly lie to us. We easily get distracted by physical comfort or the urge to look good. If you want to find what is actually real, you have to quiet those physical demands first. Sit in a quiet room and block out the noise. True clarity only comes when you stop letting your physical cravings make your decisions for you.

When to use it

• I was about to agree to that client's pitch just because they bought me a fancy dinner, but I realized my stomach was doing the thinking, not my brain.
• When you are shopping online late at night because you are tired and bored, you will buy things you do not need. Go to sleep and look at your cart again in the morning with a clear head.
• My body was screaming at me to quit during the final mile of the run, but I knew my muscles actually had plenty of fuel left.
