The greatest achievement is to manage your mind so that it is under your control and not the other way round. This is learning to rise above the storm rather than being caught in it. It is being able to control your thoughts to focus on now hence be able to address the matter at hand effectively. It is being able to know how to drive the self so well that you know which gear to engage in various challenging situations. The first step in learning to control your mind is to understand what emotions are in order to manage them. Emotions reveal the nature of your thoughts. There are only two types of emotions - positive and negative. When you are not sure whether your thoughts are good or bad, look into your heart to find out how you feel. Both emotions are easily detected: Positive emotions always attract positive response from others regardless of whether they agree with your point of view. Negative emotions equally attract negative response. So whenever you encounter negativism, check your emotion; what vibration are you exuding? How do you discard negative emotions? 1. You are a spirit being and your mind must comply with you and not the other way round. In other words your mind must submit to the spirit self. This truth has never been revealed during childhood socialization therefore must be learned. 2. All of us have been accustomed to letting our minds operate on auto-pilot and we regard this as normal but it is not. Most of us have unpleasant past and the ego idolize and feeds on this, causing you to harbor anger and other negative emotions at subconscious level. 3. You maintain your cool when you become present. This refers to ability to maintain positive thoughts regardless of challenging situations. You learn to break this negative habit of reacting to mind stuff by simply watching your anger without you being part of it. 4. Remember the saying; your attitude determines your altitude. Watching your emotions this way enables you to recognize that the words you speak are not yours but the mind stuff and because you are alert, you can chose to steer yourself out of a negative situation. 5. As soon as you focus on the present, all unhappiness gradually dissolve because painful emotions are the product of your ego. You do not have a problem until you indulge in the past experiences. When you rise above the ego stuff, you are on the way to attaining enlightenment. You will maintain stable calm personality which is a big plus in leadership.
