It has all the good qualities you desire. So every time when you are not able to control you mind please do not feel unhappy. But focus your attention towards your heart and within few seconds you will be able to meditate without any disturbance. Heart is like a fountain full of peace, joy and love. You can sit at the base of the fountain and enjoy it. So it is better to meditate in the heart than in the mind. From your mind you get inspiration and from your heart you get aspiration.
