The Mind's Game for More

 Often we may lose ourselves in imagination and memories, wanting things to be a certain way, rather the way it is - wanting to have done things differently. The mind loves to maximise pleasure and minimise pain - thus this game it relentlessly plays. It wants to control. It does not ceases. But the moment you observe the mind's constant struggle for more, or for better, it loses it's power over you - it only takes a moment of presence to notice, non-judgementally and create space for the relentless mind. Peace arises from this act along.
