The need to quiet and free the mind that is filled and captured by millions of thoughts daily cannot be overemphasised. Each person has their own share of cares, little niggles and concerns which we wish not to have and sometimes they end up boggling our minds in a really bad way which can affect our degree of happiness and our ability to function maximally. This is why the mind needs to be freed and quiet and these 20 quotes can help you get there. 1. Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you are riding through the ruts, don’t complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don’t bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake up and Live! – Bob Marley 2.

You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve – Mary Kay Ash 6. Happiness, true happiness is an inner quality. It is a state of mind.
