Part 1 · Two natures and the one who chooses. The first six slides, free.
1 / 6
You meant to spend the evening on the thing that matters. You spent it on something else, and nobody made you.
Dumont opens his first lesson right there: "Everyone has two natures. One wants us to advance and the other wants to pull us back." Neither one is a villain, and neither is the real you. Both are simply trying to gain control, every day, over the same hours and the same attention.
What settles the contest is not temperament, mood or luck. In his words, the will alone decides the issue. Whatever you are at the end of a year is the nature you kept choosing.
