….very inspiring, the words I just read this morning, it
goes something to this effect…”….do not compete with your peers but rather
compete with yourself.” I had this
attitude of competing with anybody else, before I wasn’t aware about it or
let’s just say that I was not ready to accept that was my attitude…I was
denying myself that I was like that.
Here are some tips that I enjoyed doing which helped me overcome this
attitude:
1. Pray.
Pray that He will give you
strength and guidance in the process of knowing yourself. It is not easy but through His guidance, you
will never be alone, you will always be carefree to move whatever you want to
do because you have accepted that He is Almighty and everything is possible!
2. Accept
yourself for who you are.
You need to know yourself deeper
and better. Know your heart’s desires
and then accept what you may discover about yourself whether best or
worst. Just a reminder, be brave enough
to face the discoveries you may have about yourself. I tell you, you will go to the process of
defending yourself that you are not like this like that because your mind
dictates what you know is right especially when you are discovering about your
negative side. “Defending yourself”
stage is normal but learn to overcome this by changing your mind set that you
are not perfect and you may commit mistakes in life.
3. Enjoy
what you have.
You will be at peace about your
status in life if you will learn to ignore everybody’s wealth, fabulous
lifestyle or all good things about your peers, in short, do not envy your
peers. Enjoy what you have, be happy for
what you have achieved in life and take it easy in achieving your goals. Envy is the root cause of unhappiness, you
will never appreciate everything you have because you are thinking that others
are better than you and you will compete with them in order to get even or
better than them.
4. Practice
patience in your life.
Do not let your temper gets high
whenever there are things that happened not according to what you want. Do not expect that everything you want in
life will be granted to you, you need to develop patience in order to be in
focus. There is a perfect time for
everything, it may not be now, it may not be later but believe that it will come
according to His will.
5. Thank
the people who inspire you.
Show gratefulness to the people
who inspire you to strive more and to dream big. They may be your parents, brothers, sisters,
relatives, friends, girlfriend or boyfriend.
Do not forget to give them back whatever you have achieved and to share
with them your blessings. If you know
how to thank people who have helped you through your life, there are more
blessings to pour upon you.
6. Thank
God.
Thank God for everything. The challenges, blessings, failures, success
and any other feelings and happenings in your life are created by God
Almighty. Thank God for your life!
