Let me tell you about a Tuesday.
I was walking home from my corporate job in the city. I’d told myself no drinks until Friday hit. I meant it.
Then I stepped outside. The summer air hit me. The sun, the busy streets, the half-mile walk home, and my favorite boujee wine store, the one with the good cheese, right on the route. Right then and there, I knew. The wine wasn’t waiting until Friday.
My adrenaline lifted. The pep came back into my step. The annoying coworker story from earlier that day was out the window. And before I’d even turned the corner, I was rationalizing. You know what, I deserve it. I was already in.
Here’s the part nobody told me back then. That wasn’t me deciding. That wasn’t even the thought of the wine getting the better of me. That was the wiring.
It isn’t weakness.
It’s wiring.
If that hit, here’s the part nobody told us. The rest of Lesson 01 shows you the brain.
