The Best Advice My Mother Ever Gave Me

My mother advised me one day when I was young, "Be careful what you let go into your mind. You can wash your body, you can weed out your closet, you can close a book or turn off a television, but what goes into your mind stays there. Be careful not to put anything in there that you don't want to come back to you at your most sacred times, because rest assured, the one thing you don't want to remember is what will pop into your mind just when it's most inconvenient."
