### Elephant Rider
- metaphor describing our internal interactions
- elephant = emotional side
- rider = rational side
-V-
The **rider** is tiny but intelligent,<br />holding the reigns and choosing the right path.
The **elephant** is huge but simple,<br />with a mind of its own.
-V-
Most of the time, the elephant let's the rider lead the way.
But at 6 tons it won't be bossed around! <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
-V-
If the rider is indecisive or tired,<br />the elephant will do as it likes.
If the elephant gets scared,<br />it will not obey the rider.
