Seems like we are running since the time we are born. Always in a rat race..want ourselves to prove better than others. In school, we want to stand at first position because we want to be better than rest. At work, we care more about the colleagues around and want to be better than them. We want to be first to be chosen for promotion. Even when we choose a life partner, so many times, we do this comparatively analysis, in what ways my wife/girlfriend is better than others wives/girlfriends. Guys feel they have a prized possession if they feel their partner is better than others, true for many girls too. However, what are you doing to yourself in all this comparative analysis?
You are keeping others above you, you are giving way to lots of negativities inside you through hatred, envy, you are building lots of insecurities and this list will continue whole day. You start losing self as you forget what you are, because you would want to do what others are doing may be in a better way and eventually you would forget what did you want to do. Why do you have to compare? You compare and start getting insecure, if you prove yourself better than you want everyone to know that you are better than others, if you don’t then you lose confidence as that is based on comparison not self belief….all this is happening because you have started running in a rat race.
Life is not about being better than others, its about being your best. You keep comparing and still dont do what you can do..you still dont explore your full potential..then whats the point in doing something. When you compare, may be you would stretch yourself just little more than few around you and not exploring what you can do. However, if you become your best, you may be better than may more as thats your best. Other thing is you would respect yourself more. You would be more contended that I gave my best shot and you will be able to respect yourself and everyone around you more. Everyone has own life, own struggle, own journey, no two people can have same journey, by comparing yourself with others, you are disrespecting life and yourself. You need to be your best not better as when you are better, you are still better, becoming your best makes you best.
