Mind your coffee cup
Your mind is like a coffee cup. After drinking from it, the sides are all stained and the bottom of it looks like the surface of some alien planet.
We have to make the effort to bring it to the sink for a thorough washing - to get rid of these brown marks of abuse, the residue of neglect. I flush it with hot boiling water, to kill the germs and cleanse the inner surface. Neglect - can become a habit. Piled up layers of neglect would result in cup so dirty that one would think it was brown. Consistency breaks the chain.
Your mind is like a coffee cup - be proud of it and clean it regularly.
