Control.

The importance of being able to control our thoughts is not to be underestimated. If we won’t control our thoughts, our thoughts will control us. This is how most of the people spend their lives. That is why if we talk to people about how their lives have been, the answers are replete with dissatisfaction. The degree of success that we achieve in life is directly proportional to the degree of control with which we are capable of handling our thoughts. Despite this reality, the majority among us does not pay attention to achieve at least some level of mastery in this art of thought management. This is because, like so many other worthwhile things in life, this task of managing our thoughts is not easy. It is difficult. But living in emotional misery is also difficult. However, people get used to living in state of unhappiness. They keep complaining about it. But they really do not want to do something substantial to come out of their condition of discontent. Notwithstanding this tendency of people, the need to be able to manage our thoughts is pressing. This cannot be ignored just because it is difficult to accomplish. All things are difficult before they are easy.
