We use the mind to create ourselves. Stuck amid the inevitable gaps between the mint of imagination and the postholes of actuality, we stutter step through the stratum of objective and subjective reality. We constantly amend our internal mental maps. Each day we awaken from the nighttime dream world with a revised identity of ourselves.Kilroy J. Oldster
About This Quote
It is a fact that we create ourselves with the mind. Our mind creates our self-image and it is a process that takes a lot of time and hard work. We have to work on our mind to achieve what we want in life. Our mind can be our biggest obstacle or our greatest ally.
If we do not use our mind properly, it will lead us down the wrong path and can get us into trouble. In addition, if we do not use our mind properly it can cause problems in our life such as depression or anxiety.
