When thought becomes excessively painful, action is the finest remedy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Drag your thoughts away from your troubles... by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage it.
We are like horses who hurt themselves as soon as they pull on their bits - and we bow our heads. We even lose consciousness of the situation, we just submit. Any re-awakening of thought is then painful.
Almost all our suffering is the product of our thoughts. We spend nearly every moment of our lives lost in thought, and hostage to the character of those thoughts. You can break this spell, but it takes training just like it takes training to defend yourself against a physical assault.
The deferring of anger is the best antidote to anger.
Action is the antidote to despair.
The best way to renew thought is to go outside the human imagination.
Great thoughts reduced to practice become great acts.
My own approach has always been to push intense emotions down and attempt to deal with them later.
Letting your mind play is the best way to solve problems.
The only antidote to mental suffering is physical pain.
