Unhealthy Competition Is A Dream Killer!

James Altucher Famously Said:


"Your competition is not other people but the time you kill, the ill will you create, the knowledge you neglect to learn, the connections you fail to build, the health you sacrifice along the path, your inability to generate ideas, the people around you who don't support and love your efforts, and whatever god you curse for your bad luck"


The need to compete with other people, is a profound trait of human beings. It doesn't matter your educational background, your status, family or upbringing. At some point in your life, you must have felt distressed and left behind by your mates. Being left behind must have given birth to the need to compete, to feel among, to belong.

However, this need to compete with those around you, needs to to be checked. If it isn't it, will destroy everything you are or will ever be.

First of all, it is of great import that you realise that you are a different person and your life is going to progress in a different manner, quite different from your friends or those around you!

This is the bitter truth, it doesn't matter how hard you try, you cannot have what everyone has, you cannot be like them. They were created differently and envying them or trying to have everything they have is a waste of your time. Therefore, it is wise to seek out your own path and stop trying to be like or have what everyone has.

You were sent to earth for a different purpose, your life will never advance at the same pace with your friends. They may be faster than you or you may be faster than them in achieving your dreams. However, this doesn't mean you will never catch up or they will not catch up. As long as, you stay on course with the map of your life, you will eventually catch up. All you need is time, give yourself time. Everyone on earth has a set time for his/her breakthrough. Work towards your dreams, as you wait for your time.

Henceforth, stop competing it will only rob you of your destiny and leave you miserable and unfulfilled in the long run.

THREE WAYS TO OVERCOMING YOUR WEAKNESSES.

Matshona Dhliwayo Famously said: "To realize your greatest strengths, you must first overcome your greatest weaknesses" The reason why so many great people seem perfect or infallible, is not because they are perfect. But because they have learnt how to master their weaknesses. Every man you see has a weak spot. It could be in their character, for some it could be their loved ones, while for others, it could be their lifestyle. But ultimately, human beings by nature have weaknesses they all try to hide. Now, this is where the problem lies, because you shouldn't be hiding your weaknesses or pretending that they do not exist. Instead you should be confronting your weaknesses, because facing them head on is what will make you overcome them and prevent others from using them against you. The first step to overcoming your weaknesses is: Identifying and Admitting Your Weaknesses You cannot solve a problem, until you identify what these problems are. The same applies to

HABITS THAT TARNISH YOUR IMAGE

Image
Swami Satchidananda famously: "If you do not pour water on your plant, what will happen? It will slowly wither and die. Our habits will also slowly wither and die away if we do not give them an opportunity to manifest. You need not fight to stop a habit. Just don’t give it an opportunity to repeat itself" Our habits are part of our identity it, it is what defines us, what makes us different from others, what makes us succeed or what makes us fail. Invariably, the type of habits we imbibe will determine if we are respected or disrespected. Habits are they defining quality that presupposes what other people think of us. Nevertheless, it is important to realise that what people think of you doesn't matter, because you can never satisfy human beings. But on the other hand, even though you may not give a damn about what they may say or think. It is pertinent that your Image is not destroyed or marred as a result of your habits or inadequacies. Thus, you have to prote
