The success of others is hurting you.
Why do we feel the need to chase others.
People often complain of not following their heart. They get so busy thinking about others’ success that they forget to achieve what they love. And yet they complain of not living the best of their lives.
One’s success is other’s pain. People don’t hurt you by their success but you hurt yourself by being envious of them.
When your friends share their win with you, are you happy for them ? Yes! for sometime you really are but when you gather your thoughts that someday somewhere you are to be compared with your friend’s achievement then you are not, you tend to focus on your failure and forget about your friend’s joy when instead its not your failure, you are just afraid of the comparison.
We live in a world where everything is a show-off, we create a fake and imaginary life and build hopes on it. But why do we do so? What’s wrong with our own lives, why do we feel the need to change it and why can’t we be just us!
Is it because we are tired of living an ordinary life, or we want to make luxurious friends, or we want to be visible to society or we want to gain some popularity. The mindset of today’s generation has drastically changed that even a simple thought is made to look suspicious.
But whose fault is it actually? Is it really ours or is it others who blame us for not achieving the best.
Well, mostly it’s us , we are to be blamed for all the wrongdoing. We feed our brain with so much of negativity that coming out of it becomes quite difficult.
We fill our mind with Insecurity, Fear of missing out (FOMO), Expectations, Unfulfilled goals, Lack of recognition which is actually not there in the real world, we just want to occupy our brain with such things.
Sometimes it’s the parents who are at fault, always comparing their children to others and discussing what went right with others and what went wrong with theirs. They always want to have the best for their children but what happens when they don’t get it. “They start comparing”.
Mental torture and Comparison is the worst and silent form of suppression.
When someone compares you with another person even if that person is your sibling, it feels distressed because you have created a life, friends, career and that starts to shaken when compared. You start doubting your existence, power over your life, your skills, even your whole life.
You can build a strong sense of self-worth and belief in your capabilities. No one is perfect, you just have to concentrate on your own life and accept the responsibility for your own role and actions.
Life is very easy if we ponder on ourselves rather than living under someone’s shade.
