The only reason that people 'Choose' to go backwards is because they let their mind take control. Their mind points them in that direction because it's convenient. If we learn to quiet the mind the soul has a way of painting the bigger picture for taking the right action into growth.Matthew Donnelly
About This Quote
Our mind is so powerful. It can trick us into doing things we don't want to do. For example, if you're stuck in the mud and there's no way to get out, your mind will send you a message saying, "Look at me! I'm stuck and it's all your fault." The truth is that, although you're stuck, it's not your fault. The fact that you're stuck is not because of anything you did or didn't do.
The fact that you're stuck means that the ground has changed its conditions. If you could see the bigger picture, you'd realize that what you need to do is simply dig a hole and crawl out from there.
