Compete without Competition


There is no need for competition in nature. Nature has everything in abundance and also sufficient enough to meet everyone’s needs. Unfortunately we are unaware of this and we fall prey to the temptation to compete with others. When we fail to achieve, we are disappointed. For that matter even some of the winners are not happy. Does it mean we should not compete with others? No, we can compete. But realize that we get what we deserve. There is nothing wrong in striving to realize your goal. The competition should be healthy. We should realize that no role or position is greater than the other. We should also realize that there will be only one first position. And even the second, third and so on are also as important as the first one. A post of peon or an attendant is as important as an IAS officer. None is superior or inferior to the other. Each has its own unique role. If we are not aware of this fact even our victory does not make us happy. That’s the reason why all the winners are not happy. Comparison is the source of your sorrow. And all the losers are not unhappy because they are aware of the nature’s principle of abundance.
