The Powerful Mind

The Mind is powerful. Obstinate. A wonderful servant. But a lethal Master. It is immensely powerful. Controlling the mind is exceedingly difficult. When untamed & uncontrolled, mind can create havoc in your life. You can perish in spite of being endowed with wonderful talent & intelligence. The senses pull the mind towards objects of instant gratification....the sense wants it DESIRES to be fulfilled...The mind wants pleasure...instant pleasure...Anything that is capable of giving instant sense pleasure will become object of fancy for the mind and it will crave for MORE OF IT...

The DESIRE of WANTING more of sense pleasure will get stronger day by day...and before you even know...you'll find yourself addicted to the sense object of gratification.

The first time we are tempted to do something, there is an opposition from within to avoid doing it...Our conscious knows that we shouldn't be doing what are doing...there's the battle...but the force of the mind seems too strongly...it violently pulls us towards fulfilling the desires of our senses. Unable to bear the pressure of the battle within, we give up the fight to put up an end to the struggle. We let our sense...our desires...and our mind WIN...We lose...

And each time we come across a similar situation....the arguing forces within us gets weaker and weaker and the ugly half of us becomes stronger and stronger and dragging us towards instant pleasure...

interpersonal communication Self improvement programs basically say the same thing: that your worth is determined by you and the only way you can make things better is to step up to the plate and act on your insecurities and stressors. This applies for all kinds of activities, from learning to play tennis better to handling family problems. Self improvement entails seeking ways to equip yourself with the right tools to be able to effectively combat the negatives that are thrown at you throughout your life journey.
