Summary

This quote suggests that when our thoughts become overwhelmingly difficult or distressing, taking action can be the most effective solution.

By focusing on actions, we can potentially shift our attention away from the distressing thoughts, find solutions, and regain a sense of control over our situation. It highlights the power of action in alleviating mental pain and promoting positive change or progress.
