It's All A Mind Game

I dont know how and why I am like this. Some people are so cool when something excited happens. But for me I get excited when something goodhappens and sad when something bad happens. If I win something I cant keep quiet and feel like dancing even at this age,

There is a saying

Dont get depressed if everything goes wrong
dont get overconfident if everything goes fine
always be in equilibrium position because nothing is permanent

I think others know about this quote, thats why they are cool. I read all quotes but follow only some.

Living is simple,loving is simple
laughing is too simple, winning is also simple

Then what is difficult

being simple is very difficult, but for me I think being simple is simple but winning is not so simple

When I wake up in the morning I first pray to God , then after taking bath how is my luck today, then think about what I will be able to achieve today.

When mind is weak, a situation become problem
when mind is balanced the situation becomes a challenge
when mind is strong that situation becomes opportunity
It's all a mind game

Dear Vijiakka,

Elsewhere in response to anther ILite, I had mentioned that simplifying life is the primary goal and mission of life. The swing of life goes backward and forward oscillating from pain to pleasure and back to pain. But it passes through the stage of equanimity every time (the lowest position of the swing where we get on and off the swing). The pair of opposites (pleasure and pain) happen all the time.

Agitated mind experience the pain the most. Calmer mind is able to be analytical and find the lessons out of each experience and provide a possible solution. When we throw a problem into the mind which is like a pond, the ripples continue for a prolonged period of time at the surface of the mind whereas if you let the mind to remain stagnant, we are able to see the bottom of the pond and notice the problem that we have thrown into the water disappeared at the lowest level of our mind.

Anger and fear are the outcome of desires and attachments. If we create a ceiling on desires and lead a detached life, those emotions can be eliminated and achieve equanimity.

Wow Viswa dear glad to get your first thought provoking feedback. Feel as if I have got an award . Though so many thoughts come to my mind I do not know how to narrate. Have to learn so much from the great writers in IL including you
