“The quality of your mind determines the quality of your life.” – Sam Harris
Such a simple maxim, but it’s utterly true. So simple that it’s easy to forget. Whatever you’re going through, however hard it is, or easy it is, or painful it is, or rough it is, or unexpected it is, or joyous it is, or unbearable it is, or [insert adjective here] it is, it is that way because of your mental state. You can argue, scoff, roll your eyes, offer as many yeah-buts as you can manage, but the simple fact is that if you didn’t have a mind to experience whatever you’re experiencing, then it would have no quality at all.
