Comparison will steal your joy!

 

If variety is the spice of life, why do we compare ourselves to others?

In the race of life, we all begin at different starting lines. Some are born into wealthy families some are not. Some are in locations more favorable for success than others. We all have different starting lines, we all face different obstacles and we are all not going to cross the finish line at the same time. The obstacles I face are not the same obstacles you face; some of them are not even the same obstacles members of my own family face. All comparing yourself will accomplish is bring you down. In life they will always be someone better.
Getting married, settling down, and having children is not the only way to live life. Anyone can want one or more (or none) of these elements in their life. 

Can we imagine a world where everyone did the same thing around the same time? It would be monotonous and controlled. Lifestyles wouldn’t be a thing because we would all have the same one. Would this robotic, oppressive life be sustainable?
So always aim to be yourself and be wary of perfectionism. Once we free ourselves from comparisons, we forget we ever made them.
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

    Engaging one Lipika! This is what we need to learn. But getting rid of this enemy is really difficult. No matter what, people will compare, all you have to do is be a better version of yourself and then others will follow.

What's on the other side of Fear?

  “Everything you’ve ever wanted is sitting on the other side of fear.” Consider that for a moment: to get what you want, you just need to get past your fear.  Fear is a powerful emotion.  It often masquerades as a cloak of protection, keeping us from doing things that may cause us harm.  Sooner or later, that caution and those fears that prevent you from getting hurt or put on the spot, stagnate you.  I've heard most people saying that I'm not good enough , I'm not ready for this.  Somewhere along the way, out of fear of ridicule or rejection, you started to tell yourself that it was okay not to go after what you wanted. You fill your head with negative stories that prevent you from stretching your wings. Until you take responsibility for your own growth journey, everything will remain the same. To make positive change, you have to be willing to be vulnerable. A healthy curiosity is often the best educator, as it leads to new opportunit...

What We think, We become!!

Close your eyes and visualize yourself become the person that you always wanted to be. Now, Identify the feeling and give your mind a vision of where it wanted to go. It will help you to drive you to stay on creating it to happen. Visualize yourself become the person that you want to be, is a powerful tool to stay focus. When you focus on something, you actually give your mind a command. So your mind is looking for ways to extract that command that you gave it. Why? Because your brain doesn’t know the difference, so it will drive you to focus on creating it to happen. So understand that every time you tell yourself that things will go wrong, it’s actually going to happen. Your mind will look for the things that you tend to look for. If you think negative, your mind will look for negative.  There are three practices that prime the brain for a change. They are visualization, affirmations and intentions. Positive change starts with a positive vision of the life you want, positive affi...
