All investors who stare at the stock market monitors and watch the ticker tapes are exposed to the emotions of greed and fear. Controlling your emotions and staying detached from the market madness is the key to success.
One of the technique to increase your ability to control your own mind is to practice becoming a detached observer of what happens in your mind when you see your stock price sinking or your favorite movie star making love on the siler screen. You would find a wave of fear or desire, breaking out of your mind and spreading all over your body via your spine...
Learn to observe quietly what goes in and out of your mind. Watch how the train of thoughts flow. Monitor how the sensation spread over your body.
When you learn to observe your mind and master your desires, fewer and fewer uncontrollable thoughts rise up. Gradually, your mind becomes still, so that you can focus and discover your inner Power.
Every major religion in the world stresses inner peace: To reach your inner God, you must quiet the mind. As the Bible says, "Be still and know that I am God."
