First of all, in today's blog, i hope i can deliver my message as clear as crystal on how to not treat your life like a race. This discussion is really needed man!!!! Why this topic? Well, because I have done that to me and end up suffering and seeing dark side of my life. We run like hell until we don't realise the happiness surround us. I myself didn't spend my time with my friends for one solid year just to get higher grades than the smartest girl in my age group. Why would I do that since I am not the type who likes to competes? Maybe because of my ego that had been touch when they judge me based on my marks. But why should I prove her? We run like hell until we lost our self love and care. We push ourselves beyond our nature and limits to prove somebody else despite the fact we doesn't matter to them at all. WHY??? Because they are running as well to prove somebody else. People run for many reasons. Some for money, some for luxury life and some run in order to prove someone perhaps the society that they are eligible to live luxury life too. Luxury cars, handbags, bikes and great marks in exams(particularly students). Everyone is running to have a better tomorrow until they forget to live for today which might be better than the tomorrow.
Have you ever thought why should we prove others? Why should we compare with others since we are not the same?
Those who excel in arts are trying to prove that they are excel in science too. Those who master in sciences are trying to prove that they are good in sports too. Remember buddies, DaVinci can't be a Einstein and Einstein can't be a DaVinci.
"Since here mentioned satisfaction is better so don't take it for granted to enjoy your life in other way (negatively) but instead make sure your action bring changes to this world and society. This world desperately need your contribution,"
You are highly welcomed to put your effort in learning or achieving something but you don't have to chase a person to do it so.
For some (i myself used to do this) the competition mood has gone into a peak where they gets envy when they saw someone is performing well than them instead of enjoying their talents and cherishing it. There is once where i obsessed to much with success until I gets envy when my best friend performed well than me in a spelling competition. I deeply feel guilty on that. My obsession on being better than others had brought me to this condition.
As the time pass, i realised my mistakes and turn into a new leaf. Now, i become a better person who admires those beautiful talents and capabilities around me. I understand that I am unique as them but in my own way. I understand that a true success comes to you when you don't loss your self love and your identity in the journey of achieving your dreams. Now, I am a person who studies to get knowledge but not A's. I put my efforts in exams as guarantee for my future but not to compete with others.I am a person who loves to bakes and serve others and planning to open a bakery one day for my passion(although I might not get high salary as others).I realised that I can't push myself to much and so now I am working in a moderate pace in order to achieve what I like. Tortoise can win the race too if it has determination and passion. I become a person who respects my limitations and abilities and works towards it.
After all this words, there might be a group of people who still denies and believe that life is absolutely a race and you can only survive in this society if you run towards the finishing line. If you think that way then the opinion is yours but remember to slow down if you think you need some water, remember to slow down if you are hurt by some stones, remember to slow down to restore some energy to move forward. Rejoice the sky and birds upon you while you run. Most importantly, remember to lend your hand if you saw someone fall in front you while in race. Make sure they are just fine before you continue your race. Make sure it is a friendly competition that willing to take lesson from the failures and appreciate the success. If you know running is best for you, at least know the reason you run.
Hope my message delivered to you at right time. If you are running, think the reason you run for. Make sure the reason is worthy enough your sacrifices and hard work. Those who are on their way chasing their dreams, if you are tired don't stop your moves but have some walk, drink water and relaxed. Bye bye buddies, see you on next blog.
