Aim for a clear mind
We humans don’t have a blank blackboard of a mind over which we write our thoughts, analyze them and proceed.
Instead, our minds are like a raging river that has a constant supply of thoughts.
Soon, the water is all murky and we cannot make out the truth from fiction. But it is paramount that we figure out to see our minds as what they are and work towards calming down the mind and gaining some clarity over our thoughts.
The schools don’t teach this but it takes decades of hard work to get a good level of clarity.
