I just love to gather quotes. Like this one from the foundational book Mindfulness in Plain English by Bhante Gunaratana. It may help you realize that you are by no means alone when you first try to meditate and your mind immediately goes nuts:
“Somewhere in this process, you will come face to face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels barreling pell-mell down the hill, utterly out of control and helpless. No problem. You are not crazier than you were yesterday. It has always been this way, and you just never noticed.”
