Summary

This quote suggests that we often make important and lasting decisions or resolutions when we are in a temporary or emotional state of mind. It implies that in moments of clarity or intense emotions, our decision-making can be influenced in a way that leads to long-term actions or commitments. Therefore, when our mind is fixated on a specific thought or feeling, it is more likely to drive us towards making impactful choices that have a lasting impact on our lives.
