The greatest gift i think a person can ask for is the ability to control one’s mind. I did my usual thirty minutes skipping. In the process now-a-days i practice imagining that i am running in a beach, or a forest or even in the sun/space. Now tell me , is that not better than actually being in a beach or forest or even outer space for a holiday but having your mind engaged in the mundane problems of family, work, health or other things?Â
Having such a gift to withdraw your mind and focus it in what you want with full emotional control, is such a powerful experience. Try it.
