Thought

Let the wise man shun the cauldron of confusion,
And proceed on the path of light.

Let him leave the comfort of home,

Forsaking sensual pleasures,

Freeing himself from all obstacles,

Delighting in seclusion (Not an ordinary man’s choice),

And devote himself to cleansing the blemishes of the mind.

Those who have carefully cultivated their minds,

In tune with the elements of enlightenment –

Who, without grasping, delight in detachment,

Cleansed of all corruption and therefore shining brightly,

Send forth brilliant light.

– The Dhammapada  

Quote

James Clear on thought: 

“Anxiety is thought without control. Flow is control without thought.”
