- None of the acclaimed personalities over millenniums have ever succeeded in decoding the functioning of the mind accurately and precisely.

- Makes immense sense since cluttering the mind with too many thought processes is bound to leave the same confused and chaotic. As such, is it not advisable to simply follow the keep it simple maxim by learning to stay happy and content despite facing challenging situations as life keeps throwing at us? Why not is my retort! One may not have to be certified as an evolved soul, wisdom blessed, wiser, experienced, and an expert to uphold the virtues of being happy as the perception of staying content whatever the life bestows upon us should be good enough to reach such a state of mental equilibrium.
- Easier said than done though as the pulls, pressures, and attractions around us are bound to suck into a vortex of situations that is guaranteed to leave anybody drained out completely. The easiest way to conquer the unleashed mind into a controlled grip is to develop an attitude of gratitude by thanking all that we have been blessed with over the years. Trust me, an unadulterated expression of thankfulness inherently possesses a magic potion helping even the aggrieved mind to calm down and remain tranquil. A happy state of mind is the greatest treasure we can possibly possess. Urge each one of us to express uninhibited gratitude to witness the magic unwind.
