25. Read Good books
Your personality depend on what you read. This statement is correct in its
true sense. Time and again you will be advised to read good books. You will be
amazed at how far good books can help you cope up with your mood swings. Religious
books and self help books can help a lot to counter your bad moods. Autobiography
of a great person, life long struggle, coming out of adversity, strong will
power, steadfastness, truth, integrity at the cost of life, you name it, all virtues are available in true characters of history . Find out for yourself and read …
keep reading.
The idea here is not to
kill the time or diverting your mind to some where else. It is a slow and
steady route to up lifting your life… without fail.
Imagine water filter (earthen
candle) having two compartments. The bottom one from where you draw the
water, the upper one where you pour in the water. With years of pourring in polluted
water, you get muddy water even after the filter. You have no access to the
bottom compartment directly the only choice left with you is to pour clean
water from top so that after some time you will get clear water from bottom
compartment. Like wise, your sub-consciences mind is the bottom compartment and
your conscious mind is the upper compartment of the filter. If you want to
change the quality of you thought coming out of your subconscious mind you have
to feed good thoughts in to your waking mind , continuously.
This technique is very
slow but it will surely lead you to good thoughts and calm approaches towards
the situation. Know it for sere that, this is not just one idea to be used to acquire
knowledge. True wisdom will follow after prolong reading of good books.

to whom you can surrender, and read all about him or all the books written by
him.
