Take my word on this today – comparisons are the biggest bane we all face in our life journey! “Comparisitis”, as I would call itis the single most important block to your happiness and success.
What do I mean by “comparisitis”? It’s the most dreadful thing that can affect your mind and soul if left unattended to. That that lingering tendency in you to be someone else – live life by someone else’s standards - to peg you and your life against peers, friends, relatives, and the rest of the world!
“To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.” E E Cummins 1955
So, know this, and live this - comparisitis in not the natural choice of being! By drawing comparisons to YOU, you are putting yourself to unnecessary stress, and making such a pleasant experience of life into a fight of sorts – and things which are quite natural to you, become otherwise.
What would you want the journey of life to be – a loving, every-moment-enjoyed spectacular journey or a dreaded battle, where you don’t even feel life getting up in the morning every day, dreading the fight - a fight that is of your own creation!
Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry ~Oscar Wilde, De Profundis, 1905
The cardinal rule of life is to have a strong belief that LIFE is unique and YOU are unique too!
It’s one fact you ought to realize – the journey of YOUR life is so UNIQUE, only you can make the best of it – by just being YOU.
I am sure you will not want to squander your journey, by making it a mime of someone else’s footprint!
Be yourself, in your wonderful journey! Shun comparisitis in you today! And if you would want to help others, please ask them to do so as well!
“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are” E. E. Cummings
I have no doubt whatsoever, that YOU are courageous and would want to live only your signature.
