A Quote A Day - Nassim Nicholas Taleb on Thought Control

in quotes •  7 years ago 

“The irony of the process of thought control: the more energy you put into trying to control your ideas and what you think about, the more your ideas end up controlling you.”

One of the truths of life is the more you fight something, the worse it typically works out.

Fighting thoughts ends up with worse thoughts.

The act of acceptance, and allowing something to pass through often leads to its diminishing and speed in leaving.

Accept your thoughts, don't try to to control them with much energy.

Think better thoughts, and pay no mind to those which aren't.
