People say that the human mind is like a monkey, as it skips and jumps to many different thoughts. The mind can be compared to a horse too. The Human mind is like a tough horse. It is not easy to control it.
There are four types of horses namely very good, good, ordinary and bad.
The very good horse will run when it sees the shadow of the whip. The good one does it when it sees the whip. The third one runs when the trainer whips it. The fourth one does not run even when he whips it harshly.
Likewise, some people who have great mature minds can easily control their minds without much effort. The second type of people can control their minds if they make some effort. The third type of people will be able to control their minds only when they take serious steps and the last type may not be able to get desired results even after taking serious steps.
So, how does one get control of the mind? Control of mind can be achieved by regular meditation and yoga.
If a person is able to have proper mind control and if that person is able to discipline the mind that person can achieve great heights in life.
However, if your mind orders you then you will go nowhere.
So, learn to train the tough horse of your mind.
