“Passengers on a bus: You’re driving a bus. Passengers (your thoughts) get on, and passengers get off. Some stay longer than others, but they all eventually leave the bus. Some smell; some yell; some even tell you you’re taking a wrong turn. And some smile and make your day. Either way, you know your route and it’s not up to you to do anything but keep driving the bus.”
― Andrea Bonior, Detox Your Thoughts: Quit Negative Self-Talk for Good and Discover the Life You've Always Wanted
