"It's crazy how you can get yourself in a mess sometimes and not even be able to think about it with any sense and yet not be able to think about anything else"

This quote by Stanley Kubrick speaks with the power of the mind and how it can often be our own worst opponent. It is a pointer that we can get ourselves into a mess without even realizing it, and yet we can't appear to consider anything else. It is a pointer that our thoughts can be overwhelming and can lead us down a course of self-doubt and confusion. It is a pointer that we need to take an action back and try to believe things through with a clear head. It is a reminder that often we need to take a break and offer ourselves time to process our ideas and feelings. It is a pointer that we need to not let our ideas control us, however rather take control of our thoughts. It is a reminder that we must bear in mind our thoughts and make the effort to think things through before making any decisions.
