Lailah Gifty AkitaThe mind is a sacred mansion.
About This Quote
The mind is a sacred mansion, because it is the one thing that can make us really happy. If we don’t concern ourselves with our minds, then there’s nothing to worry about. But when we let our minds wander, it’s like throwing away the key to our happiness. The mind is our main activity center in life, but in order for an activity center to be effective, it needs to be kept clean and well kept.
We keep our bodies healthy by feeding them good food and sleeping well at night. We keep our minds healthy by staying focused on positive things each day.
