APX-IV-0003
“I keep doing something I know is wrong and I can't seem to stop.”
Knowing what's wrong and doing it anyway is a fracture between your mind and your will. You can't own your nature until your actions match your values. Start with honesty about what the behavior is actually giving you.
Your Practice
Write down what this behavior gives you in the short term and what it costs you over time. Look at the trade plainly. Then make one structural change to your environment today that makes the behavior harder to reach. One change. Today.
The Architects
“No longer talk at all about the kind of man that a good man ought to be, but be such.”
— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book X.16 (George Long translation)
