I am not talking about scoring high in exams. My point of view on Using your brilliant mind relates to the way you condition your mind to take decisions without any interference from physical pain, mental exhaustion and of course, heart. Some tasks to explore the idea of giving mind the full Control.
Task #1: Get up at 6:00 AM. You will feel sleepy but tell yourself repeatedly that your mind controls your body. You will do what your mind says. There should be NO SPACE for other thoughts to come in. Take a bath with cold water without flinching & while you are at it - remind yourself that mind controls everything
Task #2: You may get offended / cheated in day-to-day life. DO NOT react immediately. Remind yourself again that the mind has not been harmed - so no need to react.
Task #3: You will look at the temptations around you. Be inert to them. Bombard your mind with thoughts of MIND IS EVERYTHING. Nothing beyond it. No reactive sensation at all.
The above statements may sound dry and heartless, but this is one way of life that multiplies one's ability. Makes him/her do the biggest of challenges.
