Slow down and think backwards
If you find that you have hitched a wrong plane in your thought cruise or have nurtured thoughts that, although they seemed cool and sharp at the time, did not lead you to the right destination, then you need to slow down and think backwards to identify where you have missed it or what wrong premise you had latched onto.
The problem often lies in the premise of thought
The premise of thought or its subsequent action is usually where the problem is. Premise is what makes some people conclude that suicide is the best option for them. It is also what makes some quit trying altogether, close shop, retreat or take some steps that are later proved to be brash, surface or ill-formed.
