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.

Today I Choose Joy!!

"If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else" I think you’ll agree with me when I say: The power of positive thinking is remarkable. In fact, the idea that your mind can change your world almost seems too good to be true. I can assure you, however, that I have experienced AND witnessed the good that focusing on the positive can bring. But before I get into that, let me ask you a question. Can you guess what the most successful and happy people think about all day long? The answer is quite simple… Healthy, happy people think about what they want, and how to get it, most of the time. In this way developing a positive attitude can truly change your entire life. Now, How Do You Train Your Mind To Think Positive? Positive affirmations are positive phrases that can be repeated over and over to teach you how to get rid of negative thoughts and encourage a positive attitude.

Hold yourself back, or heal yourself back together. You decide!!

“ What if no one is coming to discover your hidden talents, to acknowledge your untapped potential, to heal you, to save you from yourself? What if the savior was always supposed to be you? What if that’s why it hasn’t worked out with anyone else?” Waiting for someone to come and save you is a mistake because no one will know how to do it better than yourself.  Your best savior is you because you can also be your own hero. It’s enough to simply pay attention and take care of yourself when you need it most.  Otherwise, unease or discomfort might emerge someday and stay for good. Stop giving away the main role to those inner voices that don’t let you move forward and anchor you in the comfort zone. Who are your enemies?  Everything and everyone who traps you with unease and discomfort and anything or anyone that belittles you.   Certainly, we need inspiration to show us examples of clear purpose. But I wonder what happens in a world where we each figure out w...
