&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Hi Khemy,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interesting question raised. Thanks for posting!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;My thoughts on this: It&amp;#39;s about getting control over your own thoughts. This creates peace of mind. Out of this peace you can learn that your thoughts are creating your reality. Knowing this puts power back into your own control. As soon as you can control your thoughts you can control&amp;nbsp;your reality. Before my mind was wondering off all the time and &amp;quot;it&amp;quot; created my reality without me being conscious about it. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meditation learned me to understand this process of thoughts; creating reality. Now I am not an expert and I do not control my reality as I should or would want to control it, but I understand the process and practising the theory brings me closer to&amp;nbsp;controlling my life in a way I feel good about it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is what I think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best,&lt;br /&gt;Leendert&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Hi all. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Throughout my short life I have struggled to answer a small question: How can I stop thinking? Well to be honest ..I&amp;#39;d rather not, cause otherwise I&amp;#39;ll be inexistant. However, bearing in mind that thousands of thoughts can cross our mind within a matter of seconds, I always &amp;quot;think&amp;quot; how much &amp;quot;energy&amp;quot; I lose by doing so. Well the question would rather be then, how can I control my thoughts. Yes we talk about meditation, and rightly so. However, I believe meditation allows people to gain tranquility but not the drive to tackle obstacles in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would love to know what you think about this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Khemy&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
