How do I gain control of my life?

How do we gain consistent control over our thoughts and deeds in daily life? It should be practical.?

• Answer:

  At the end of every day, consider those actions performed during the day, which you think of as mistakes. Eveyone one of us has those and it should be easy to remember the most glaring ones. But if those actions have been erroneous, they have been propelled by inapropriate thoughts. That is why, the next day you should steer clear of them. Thus each day, you will be gathering an ever increasing datbase of bad actions and thoughts, that led to mistakes. You will be able to compare your current thoughts with the bad ones, and erase those you know to be bad. Therefore each day, you will be avoiding more and more possibilities for mistakes in thoughts or deeds. The more you practise with this methodology, the easier it should become. At a certain stage, the process will become subconscious and take only moments of your time. By directing your thoughts away from the mistakes this way, you will out of necessity turn to something more positive instead. That is one form of control one can easily achieve over thoughts and actions. All it requires is a steady application of the principles, day after day, until it becomes automatic. Nothing is more practical than that.
