Comparison is the thief of happiness. It dims our light by placing someone else in the spotlight.
Shweta covered a distance of 10 km in one hour.
Akash covered the same distance in one and a half hours.
Which of the two is faster and healthier?
What if I say, Shweta covered this distance on a prepared track while Akash did it by walking on a sandy path???
But when we come to know that Shweta is 50 years old while Akash is 25 years old??
But we also come to know that Akash's weight is 140 kg while Shweta's weight is 65 kg.
As we learn more about Akash and Shweta, our opinions and judgments about who is better will change.
The reality of life is also similar.
We form opinions; Too many, Too soon
Opportunities vary. Life is different. Problems change. Solutions are different.
Excellence of life is not in comparing with anyone but in testing oneself.
Life is not a race to the finish and show the medal. It is a collection of moments and memories.
Yours, Mine and each one’s journey is beautiful in its own way.
Stay cool, stay satisfied, keep smiling, keep laughing while doing your best and being happy with what we have.
Happy to know you views. Do share.

1 年Very true and beautifully explained in the article Subir Verma . Irony is that we tend to overpower that comparison at times . Thanks for sharing this .
