Summary

This quote highlights the power of our minds to create and dwell on negative thoughts or events that may not have even occurred. It reflects the tendency of individuals to unnecessarily suffer by replaying past experiences or imagined scenarios in their minds.

It serves as a reminder to focus on the present moment and not let imagined fears control our lives.
