Competition And Co-operation

Do you hold a belief about success and competition that Life is a competition and success means being right on top of achievers’ list? Do you aim at going ahead of other people or to perform better than your own capacity?  When we compete, we cannot remain happy because of a constant insecurity and fear that someone else might go ahead of us. So even on achieving top ranks, there is insecurity. Competition creates stress, fear, jealousy, hatred and moves us away from happiness. Co-operation earns blessings and makes us successful. Success is not about racing ahead and being Number One. Success is measured by our happiness, health, beautiful relationships and our achievements. Cooperation is natural for us, so let’s live the natural way. Today, remind yourself you will constantly better yourself but not compete or compare with others. Make co-operation and not competition as your nature.

Society always encourages us to compete and compare. We adopted the belief that life is a competition. But no matter how well we did, there was always someone with a bigger house, a better gadget or a higher position. Let us understand that no one is better, we are different. Remind yourself you are a happy being. Perform to the best of your capacity. Compare only with your previous performance. Compete with no one, but cooperate with everyone around you. Co-operate by creating good thoughts for them, co-operate by using encouraging words, co-operate by sharing what you know, co-operate by caring for everyone. Always remember your life is your journey, to your destination, at your speed, using your capacity, and on the basis of your values. From today, get off the race, focus on our path and move at a pace comfortable to you. By sharing what you know, healthy relationships will be created and you will be successful in many ways.
