He got separated after 30 years of marriage from his wife. He was always trying to prove himself right and others wrong.
He was never stable in any job even after 25 years of career. He always felt that he could not build any successful relationships. He felt that he made more enemies than friends. He also felt that people were jealous of him. When he started realizing that how he was messing up everywhere, he could really change things. He was always busy doing things to prove himself better and right.
She was always known as an arrogant lady. She was also known as a manipulative person. She did not know why. Any discussion, any meeting with her lead to arguments and people were scared of talking to her because she was always proving herself right and everyone else wrong. In every argument she wanted to end last as she wanted to win. She would use any thing against a person.
We all have a dark side and we cannot be complete without that dark side. A day is complete with day and night both. In that dark side, we also have a side where we seek others approval. Where we want to hear appreciation. But how far we want to go in that?
Sometimes, it is to the extent that we are ready to put down others!
Now, what happens in this race:
We lose peace of mind
We can never know what the others person is thinking, so we keep guessing and try to make things better every time
We definitely make more enemies as we put down others, people stay away from us
At spiritual level, we damage entire life. What we want to do for others will actually be done for us. Mind will not differentiate between you and me. So in longer run, you will be proven wrong every time. Which means you will be going down in life.
So what can help?
Sp what can help?
Always have uplifting thoughts for others. What more I can do rather than what more I can get.
Do things because you want to not because you are seeking approval.
Set yourself free and you will fly high.
