Read Full If you Can

I was Cycling this morning and I noticed a person about half a km ahead.

I could guess he was Cycling a little slower than me and that made me feel good,
I said to myself I will try catch up with him.

So I started Cycling faster and faster. Every block, I was gaining on him a little bit.
After just a few minutes I was only about 100 feet behind him,
so I really picked up the pace and pushed myself.
I was determined to catch up with him.

Finally, I did it! I caught up and passed him. Inwardly I felt very good. "I beat him".

Of course, he didn't even know we were racing.

After I passed him,
I realized I had been so focused on competing against him that
*I had missed my turn to my house* .

I had missed the focus on my inner peace,
I missed to see the beauty of greenery around,
I missed to do my inner soul searching meditation,
and in the needless hurry feet slipped from the paddle twice or thrice and might have hit the sidewalk and broken a limb.

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.*
😇

Great story! A very good metaphor for life. I'm just happy to know when biking I'm usually the one getting passed. Maybe I've learned something. :)
