The mind is massive ocean.

About This Quote

The mind is massive ocean. The mind can be a very dangerous thing and we all know that. It can be the cause of all kinds of problems and disappointments. It can cause us to become too bogged down in the past and we worry about things we cannot control.

We sometimes believe that we should control our thoughts and feelings, but we can’t. Our thoughts and feelings are the result of an interaction between our biology and our environment. Thoughts and feelings do not create themselves; they come from outside sources, such as other people, past events, or our culture.

We cannot always control what others do or say to us, but we can control how we react to them and how we choose to think about them:
