In our society, we tend to compare and compete among ourselves. Since young, our parents compared us with other children regarding our height, weight, result score, activities that we did,… as we grow up, we like to ask others about their age and school they came from, that is to see what they have achieved compare to ourselves or people around us. That make us never stop judging and looking for the flaws of others for a glimpse of triumph and happiness. Unconsciously, we focus on our ‘lack’ than what we have.
Competitions supposed to be friendly motivation for participants to achieve better results. However, due to our ego mind hunger for winning, sometimes we subtly making others look ugly in order for us to out shine the rest. As a result, we fear that we are not good enough and threaten by others’ out standing performances.
The truth is, all of us are winners as long as we could feel joy within. Just like some could be contented and settled with less. Simple gift could make them happy for days. They do not need to be the smartest, richest or nicest person in town yet they are always at peace. As mentioned, all answers are come from within and they are the true winners.
Meditation is one of the answers…
