About This Quote

This quote has the potential to be misinterpreted. The original writer was not suggesting that negative thoughts must be stopped or explained away. Instead, he was making an observation about how quickly our minds can move from positive to negative thinking. The problem is that trying to stop negative thoughts, or limiting ourselves with rules on what we may think, can cause us more stress than positive thinking can ever cause.
