The quality of one’s mental inscriptions depends upon what kind of thoughts dominate one’s thinking most often. An empty mind is said to be a devil’s workshop, whereas a mind engaged in creative work and righteous, constructive thinking is sure to sharpen, brighten and expand its capabilities.
If one ponders this fact, then his mental evolution is in his hands. Short temperedness enhances anger and harmful excitement. Worries, tensions, gloom, despair, and similar negative instincts weaken the mind further. So one should not reminisce untoward memories of the past or indulge in vulgar, erotic, revengeful, depressing, or arbitrary fanciful imaginations.
Positive, optimistic, and reasoned thinking educes new joy and energy in the mind and motivates it for constructive actions. This is also the key to sharpening the intellect. Focusing the mind on a single- pointed objective augments its corresponding skills and potentials. This is how one becomes an expert in a specific skill or field of knowledge. In short, our thoughts are the hidden rulers of our lives.
