Hand Over Your Mind

If a person gave away your body to some passerby, you'd be furious. Yet you hand over your mind to anyone who comes along, so they may abuse you, leaving it disturbed and troubled- have you no shame?

"If a person gave away your body to some passerby, you'd be furious. Yet you hand over your mind to anyone who comes along, so they may abuse you, leaving it disturbed and troubled- have you no shame in that?"

Our bodies are less under our control than our minds. Yet, we often we are very aware and protective of our physical bodies, but not of our mind.

Our bodies are subject to health issues, weather, attacks, all that we have no control over. What we do have control over is our mind. What we give our attention to. What we allow to take up our thoughts. And we often don’t protect it.

We give up our time and brain power to social media, to streaming, to worrying about events we can’t control, and to other person’s thoughts and ideas.

Protecting your mind is a learned skill and one that needs to be cultivated. It’s something you need to catch yourself and refocus your mind. Hopefully this quote will stick with you, and help you protect your mind as you do your body.
