“Empower Your Mind to Succeed” expounds on the profound connection between the intellect mind and the thought process. Let’s understand, what is the mind and what role does it play in our lives? Do our thoughts elevate or cause downfall? Can we control our mind?

All problems are attributable to the mind. It is the mind that makes a man “Humane” leading him to be a great person. It is the discerning mind that makes a man so special and unique from other beings. The Mind is a set of cognitive faculties that enable consciousness, perception, thinking, judgement, reasoning, and memory. The mind is the master controller of five senses and the body. “Our mind is too outward” means the mind is caught up in the external circumstances and try to seek pleasure in the outer world rather than its true nature. Thus it is important to know the nature of our mind and the way it behaves. It is essential to tap the enormous creative power that rests within the mind to fully harness the potential within us.

The mind is an incessant creator of thoughts. Thoughts are like the building blocks of life that will build our future. Nature of thoughts depends on the ideas, views, beliefs, emotions, feelings that we hold in our mind which has amazing creative power. As thoughts are created continuously, multiple thought forms are produced all day long. But we fail to realise that these thoughts are our creations stemming from our own limited personal experiences, early conditioning, and current situation. Every destination starts with a thought, and great thoughts become the blueprints of our life. We can design and build our future through our thoughts.

In this materialistic world, life is full of stress. At every step, man is indecisive, and anxiety kills him. The aim of life is being in happiness and happiness is a state of mind. It is the mind that gives the feeling of happiness or sorrow and determines the good or the bad. A positive person strives to overcome all obstacles and difficulties to get success and anticipates happiness, health and harmonious life. But the doctrine works the other way also; if one is inattentive and lets alien thoughts persist, it will change one’s nature. Mind control techniques are instrumental in keeping us happy, healthy, and self-motivated to achieve success and combating stress-related illness.

This book intends to serve as a much-needed reference guide to the individuals of all age groups who wish to possess a healthy, positive, and well-organised thought process.
