Joy of Living your Own Life

......It then dawned on me, isn't that what happens in life when we focus on competing with co-workers, neighbours, friends, family, trying to outdo them or trying to prove that we are more successful or more important and in the bargain we miss on our happiness within our own surroundings?
We spend our time and energy running after them and we miss out on our own paths to our given destination.
The problem with unhealthy competition is that it's a never-ending cycle.
There will always be somebody ahead of you,

someone with a better job,🏃
nicer car, 🚗
more money in the bank, 💲
more education, 📖
a prettier wife, 👩
a more handsome husband, 👨
better behaved children, 👪
better circumstances and 💢
better conditions etc.💪
But one important realisation is that You can be the best that you can be when you are not competing with anyone.
Some people are insecure because they pay too much attention to what others are, where others are going,
wearing and driving, what others are talking.
Take whatever you have, the height, the weight and personality.
Accept it and realize, that you are blessed. Stay focused and live a healthy life.

There is no competition in Destiny. Each has his own.

Comparison AND Competition is the thief of JOY.
It kills the Joy of Living your Own Life.

Run your own Race that leads to Peaceful, Happy Steady Life.

Die Empty ...

Recently just when I was surfing on the web I came across the book 'Die empty' -by Todd Henry. The title itself is unique and made me curious about what this book is all about. I have gone through the book and I found the concept quite amazing. I will try to summarize the book in short which I gain. The writer did his best to motivate people to pour out their ideas and potential energies in their communities and turn them into something useful before it is too late. The most beautiful of what he said in his book is that: "Do not go to your grave and you carry inside you the best that you have, always choose to die empty." Die empty is a new expression and unique in its own way, at first glance you will think it is normal. But I was surprised to know the true meaning of this new expression. It is to "die empty" of all the goodness that is within you. Deliver it before you leave this world. If you have knowledge give it out. If you have an idea

Action speaks louder than words ?

Let's start with the example of the founder of Tesla Elon Musk. He has made more than 100 patents effectively “open source.” Goes against all “common sense.” But his actions speak louder than any words. Waste no words on a man who dislikes you. Actions will impress him more. Some people think they can talk their way out of any situation, and for a time they may be right But if someone already dislikes you, either because of a simple misunderstanding or an error in judgment on your part, he or she will be especially difficult to persuade with words. Their emotions will always get in the way of their ability to think logically and reasonably. Consistent actions over a sustained period of time, however, will usually persuade even the most devout skeptic. If you constantly demonstrate that you are a generous, kind, and caring person, it will be very hard for even your enemies to dislike you. In any case, you will become a better person for having made the effort.

What is your story ?

What Is Your Story? I remember my childhood was filled with my grandmother’s stories. I can recall every single one of them; remembering exactly how she would tell each story with her calm and warm voice. The lessons I learned from her stories still remain effective in my life. Back then, I used to believe in those stories, they had formed my reality. What is essential to understand now is that those were stories of my childhood, not my adulthood. Everything you attract into your life is a reflection of the story you believe and keep telling yourself. The stories we tell ourselves shape who we were, who we are, and who we will become. These stories shape our attitudes, beliefs, self-perception and so on. In life, there may be certain stories we like to tell ourselves repeatedly. It is important to understand that not all stories are meant for you and not all stories are true. It is possible for a story to be built on a lie or a fear. I call these stories fiction; they do not enhanc
