Curse of Intellect

A high intellect or IQ is directly linked to success; it is celebrated as the guarantee of victory and flashed as a sign of possessing the rare ability and access to all things good in life.
But it may come with its own perils. A higher intellect makes one more prone to analyze deeply and conclude with the left brain. It can come in the way of being soft-spoken, light-hearted and ‘go with the flow’ nature. Craving for deeper conversations, stimulating discussion and diverse views; the poor soul may always feel lonely even in a crowd. His intellect can come in the way of having a ‘good time’ chilling with a beer in a hand and talking about the mundane stuff of life. Personal relations may be at risk of being treated as less than perfect and a ‘personal project’ with room for improvement. While professional goals might be fleeting, unfulfilling or ‘way to easy’ to pose an intellectual challenge. All this said and done, there are always exceptions.

While it’s not wise to disown one’s intellect, it is always good to be cognizant of it’s weight and interference in one’s life. Afterall awareness leads to awakening. But what is awakening without action. Hoping for this path to light up your journey of working on one’s core.
