When you don’t understand the nature and origin of your thoughts, your thoughts use you.

“When you don’t understand the nature and origin of your thoughts, your thoughts use you. When the Buddha recognized the nature of his mind, he reversed the process. He showed us how we use our thoughts instead of being used by them.”

– Mingyur Rinpoche
from the book “The Joy of Living: Unlocking the Secret and Science of Happiness”
