Your mind is a magic pot, from which you pick the things, and manifest life out of it. If you don’t tell your mind, your priorities, it will be easier for your mind, to pick anything, to serve you with your life.

About This Quote

Your mind is a magic pot, from which you pick the things, and manifest life out of it. If you don't tell your mind, your priorities, it will be easier for your mind, to pick anything, to serve you with your life. Buddha gave a talk about this concept, and he used a cooking metaphor to describe it. His point was that if we don't tell our mind what we want for dinner -- if we don't make a mental note of what we want -- then our mind will do its best to make us eat whatever dish it thinks we'd like.

And this is true regardless of whether or not the dish is good for us. In other words, if we don't pay attention to what we're eating -- if we don't make a mental note of what we're eating -- then our brain's going to throw together whatever taste it thinks will please us most.
