About This Quote

Everyone's mind has sort of a slum division--a flirtatious spot that doesn't give a hoot about how grave a situation is but constantly endeavors to derail more earnest thoughts, almost like a death-wish backseat driver. The power of the mind is amazing, but it can also be an enemy. It can take you on wild tangents that lead to dead ends. It can make you feel bored or lonely or angry or stressed, all the time pushing you toward distraction, away from things that are important.

Fortunately, there's a way to get yourself out of this trap. Try sitting in deep meditation for about an hour every day. This will help you quiet down your thoughts and get in touch with what you really want out of life.
