“The mind, hard to control,
Flighty – alighting
where it wishes
One does well to tame.
The
disciplined mind brings happiness.”
This verse from the Dhamma stood out
to me because it is something I just went through. Coming back from spring
break was extremely hard for my mind to wrap around. I felt discouraged and
slightly depressed when thinking about school again and the hard work that it
brings. The morning before school, I almost faked sick to avoid it one more day
but decided to go anyways. It ended up being one of the happiest days of my life
because my mind was enthralled to be engaged in control, organization, and
deeper thoughts. Disciplining my mind did bring me happiness.
