The biggest lie I fell for in my life is I am my own master!! Not too long back I used to arrogantly push forward 'I know how I am' arguments. Now why to call it a lie!! We are the best judges of our own attributes and characteristics, so why to put my perception/belief about myself under scrutiny.
Its just that whenever I have felt low about something it took me 'my own time' to get over it or felt better with the comfort offered by a friend. Whenever I have felt ecstatic it can be potentially destroyed by a mere traffic jam. Sat down to study for exams and successfully was on the 2nd page from midnight to the break of dawn. Countless times I have felt like doing something but have been most comfortably been distracted to something else.
I am what my mind tells me to be. I am being run by a super computer which has all my memories of this life or past, my experiences, knows body chemistry and basically knows which trigger will generate which reaction from me.
I as a Human was born to be the master of my own destiny. Be my own religion, faith, strength, wisdom and greatness. In order to get to that I should start off with the harsh truths about myself, that I AM A SLAVE. A slave of my own mind. It controls my behavior, attitude, perception and beliefs.
With the realization of this fact that I have indeed been 'a slave of my own mind' I need to learn how to focus and defocus my mind at will on any subject. That indeed my mind acts how I want it to act. To be able to concentrate on a subject at will and to be able to detach myself from it completely.
Our mind is the greatest asset we have, but its just like Ferrari without Fuel. I need to not only fuel this Ferrari but be on the steering wheel too in order to get to my destination!!!
