Be Like A Coconut Tree
Today while I was running in the late afternoon, I saw bunches of coconuts on the floor!
Coconut is such useful fruit! It can make into utensils, coconut milk, oil, meat, water, butter, shredded coconut, and flour.
I want to be as useful as a coconut. I have financial planning, mediation, photography, cooking, and baking skills, etc. But still, I compare myself with others.
Often human being can't help but compare ourselves to others. And comparison can be the deadliest thing we can do with ourselves because we will always come up short.
That is because we will only compare ourselves with someone who is at the top. All that comparison will exaggerate our insecurity. It is alright to enjoy and appreciate others' success and learn from them.
And by the way, many curates their success on social media and is not their real life.
Thus, be like a coconut tree, as it will never turn into a raintree or pong-pong tree. It will just be itself, a coconut tree, continue to grow tall and bear useful coconut fruits.
I still remember when I was young, I try so hard to be cool. So I always went clubbing with my friends. It was so silly then I don't even enjoy loud dance music. I prefer to enjoy my drink with soothing music or a place where there is a live band.
Do not try to be someone else because by doing so, you will lose yourself.
Do you agree? What do you think?
