The human mind can become ruinous if the intellect is not developed enough to govern it. The mind behaves like a 5 years old child while the intellect plays the role of an adult. The child needs constant supervision by an adult. So, does your mind need the attention and guidance of your intellect. An uncontrolled mind can wreck a human being. Most people invariably succumb to the pressures of the mind, which has proven detrimental, even fatal.

Are you constantly feeling stress? Do you feel like a total failure? Do you want some powerful shifts to your life, career or business which is sustainable? If you are looking for some answers, then please contact David Deb at https://thementor-online.com/.

The mind is constituted of one’s likes and dislikes. Human beings are caught up in their own attractions and aversions. People act as they like and avoid what they dislike. Their conduct of life is based on their mind’s preferences rather than intellect’s discretion. They are carried away by the whims and fancies of the mind. Handicapped by the lack of intellectual strength and guidance.

Human faces a grave problem in the indiscriminate pursuit of their likes and dislikes. The problem stems from a strange paradox in life. Whatever experience is pleasurable in the beginning, turns out to be detrimental at the end. And what is detestable in the beginning becomes beneficial, even delightful at the end. Ironically, sorrow appears in the garb of joy and joy in the garb of sorrow. As a result, people yield to pleasant beginnings only to end in bitterness. And they avoid unpleasant beginnings to lose their joy of life. The human tendency is to grab instant pleasures through undisciplined living and suffer their consequent sorrow. Few go through the rigours of discipline in the beginnings of one’s life and enjoy the peace and happiness it provides later.

There is yet another problem in living on likes and dislikes. The world is in a constant flux of change. It cannot always cater to individual likes and dislikes. You like summer and dislike other seasons. But the seasons will roll by. As a result, you enjoy three months and suffer nine months in the year. Again, you wait for the weekend. Thank god, it’s Friday. And you detest Monday morning. You are frustrated five days in a week. The trouble with most folks, is that they live by their distinct likes and dislikes and cultivate more in their lifetime only to end up in frustration. Likes and dislikes are a part of your life. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with them. You need not avoid them. But you can’t allow your likes and dislikes to directly propel your actions.

You must learn to use reason and judgement of your intellect to guide them properly to enduring peace and happiness.
