We compete with others maybe our Co workers , siblings or family members to be one up ahead of them.But have any of you thought that we compete with ourselves first and then with others.
I will explain with examples.When a housewife cooks a dish and gets praise from her family she tries to get the same taste each time she makes it.Whenever an artist tries out something new and gets appreciation then he or she tries to do better and get more praises.When a child does a good deed and gets acknowledgement from his or her teachers or parents then he or she tries to do the same deed better to get the attention
In each of these above said situations the person actually competes with oneself to gain a point.But his or her focus will be on the reaction of all the people around him or her.
It is OK to want recognition in a group but if we can focus on the fact that we compete with ourselves in each action of our life to make us a better person, then don't you think we willl make this world a better place to live.We will not hurt anyone , we will be happy and when we are happy then we will make others happy too.
So for a better world start a healthy competition with oneself.Stop bickering, stop hurting others, stop complaining about how tough life is.Start working on oneself instead.For that is what will take humanity ahead.
Do you agree with me.Pleae share your thoughts.
