Mind - 'The Trump card'

One's own mind is the trump card for making decisions. It's a powerful tool without which you are not prone to circumstances and conditions that you most desire to have in your life.

Have you ever heard of overpowering mind? I have heard about (sub)conscious mind but not this overpowering mind. It's the mind which is being overpowered/influenced by someone's thoughts/ideas/views. People! wait!!! No...It's not what you think. I am not talking about being in love with someone and thinking about him/her. That's different! To illustrate what I meant, here is an example.

Everyone of us comes to a situation where we have to decide on something..Say, you are going to a shopping mall and you come across a deep yellow top and excited to grab it. You have come with a group of friends. Yellow is not the color that I like neither your bunch of buddies that you came along with. After grabbing it and running towards your friends to ask their opinion, you approach them and ask - Hey..Howz that? All your friends say they din't like it and you can very well see their expression. Will you still take it since you liked it or look for something else? I guess most of us fall in the second category. You would be still thinking, 'Is that yellow shirt so bad?' and move to the other sections to take something. This is called overpowering mind. Someone else's view about the shirt as 'bad' made you to hesitate in taking it. Is it not the one that you liked?? Then, why did you leave it? Don't you think your thoughts are ruled by someone?

If you analyse, the overpowering mind occurs almost everyday in everyone's life. We can categorise that as seeking opinion rather than paraphrasing as 'overpowering mind'. But at some instances, it's not actually.

Once my friend came to seek my opinion on something (after seeking lot other's views) and I was giving a totally different perception and he got confused. This is what happens when you seek opinion from lots of people. Perceptions differ from person to person. But what you sow is what you reap. So when it's your matter, try to think and take a decision by yourself. So that, for whatever result, there's noone else to be blamed other than you. By that, you won't feel you are misled by someone and develop a bad feeling on them. Also, you'll become self-driven and independent although you fail at times. That's the biggest '+' in this. Use your 'trump card' to get most out of what you feel/like.

After writing all this, am thinking 'Does this makes sense? Let me use my trump card now :):):)
