Mind is a crucial thing if controlled it can be your best friend , if not dangerous enemy .
Let me check your mindset :
Do you feel alone when you are lonely ?
If yes then you still have lot to go , if no then congratulation you are on right path .
Never let your mind deceive you yourself . There is a saying when u can think of what you are thinking then you are on enlightened process or higher level of understanding .
Have you ever laughed at your own thoughts ? If we observe our mind it can be like television where u change your channel . Thoughts come and passes by . But mind is creator of reality .
Mind can affect our emotions , intentions which leads us to reality . Which can be resulted in positive or negative way .
Most people tend to brain flow in its own way and thats how they can't control over themselves . Like , they feel real what their mind thinking . Which isnt true so there is a saying , Dont judge a book by its cover .
