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.

Loosen Up a Little......!

What happens when you ask a group of kids to draw?   They start drawing. And if you ask them to dance? They just dance. However, if you ask the same question to an adult, they usually reply, “I don’t know.” Instead of jumping into action, they connect with their logical brain.   When we fear being laughed at, we stop... Doing what we want Having fun Learning That’s the problem with taking ourselves too seriously: We choose to look good over learning new things. Fear makes our lives boring and repetitive.  Life gives us plenty of reminders that we don’t matter..... It’s easy to get caught up in our own narrative. That we’re a big deal. That we bring so much value to whatever or whoever. Luckily, life brings us all back down. In truth, we’re all replaceable. Even Oprah. Our friends take us for granted. But not all the time. Sometimes, we just think we’re hot shit. For no reason. It’s the adult version of running around the house with a cape made from your bed sheets. Look, ...

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...
