Life is a Competition

Dear Gemini,

Life is a competition. A competition not with your roommate, not with your classmate, not with your friends, not with a stranger. It is a competition with yourself. Every time you are down and out, you have to compete with yourself to come back strong. Thats the competition I am talking about, thats where you need to focus.

Competing with others is the most disgraceful thing you can do with your life. There are three possibilities in competing with others -

1. You feel that you are far ahead of your competitors, and thus you tend to slack. This feeling of winning against others will make sure you never realize your true potential. NEVER. EVER.

2. You feel that you are far behind from your competitions, and thus you give up. This feeling of worthlessness will also make sure you never realize your true potential. NEVER. EVER.

3. You are on par with your competition. This is as worthless as the other two, because your actions will be based on the fact that you want to win the competition, and not what you feel/think is the right thing to do. Choosing a path for the sake of just merely winning against someone else will also make sure you never realize your true potential. NEVER. EVER.

Three different possibilities and three exactly same outcomes. Do you want these outcomes? If yes, then stop reading and compete.

IF NO, then STOP COMPETING and START LIVING.

Life is not a race to be won, in fact it is a journey. The destination does not matter, its the journey that has to be beautiful and satisfying. There is no finish line. There is no end. You live till you die. For that to happen, stop competing!

There is a volcano of thoughts inside everyone. The volcano of thoughts will be different in each of the case (The three cases) if you are competing -

1. If you are winning, the volcano will be of proud feelings and thoughts. But, let me tell you, it is short lived. For you may soon be competing with someone else in your head. Its all in your head.

2. If you are losing, the volcano will of worthless feelings and negative thoughts. I don't need to explain what this could do to a person.

3. If you are on par, the volcano will be of stressful feelings because of the tight competition you are having in your head.

All these three volcanoes is not what God created us for.

She created us to have a volcano of passion and positive energy. It was created to be full of vibrant and beautiful ideas. For this to happen, you have to start competing with yourself.

Before you go to bed tonight, take an oath - Whatever happens in life, I will also be competing with myself to realize true potential. For there is no better feeling than believing that you lead a life full satisfaction. A life without regrets. A life so beautiful, that you don't want to change a single thing. A life so meaningful.

A life full of love, harmony, peace and humor.

On that note, stop all the competition with others. Start a lifelong competition with yourself. DO IT NOW.

LOL (Lots of Love),

What does it mean to Love someone?

I was recently asked - What does it mean to Love someone?

The first reaction when I heard this question was to ignore it, for I didn't want to open my box of emotions and answer this question.

Second Reaction,

Loving someone is the most immaculate feeling in life.

It is skipping a heartbeat when you hear something you want to.

It is having a heartache when you hear something you don't want to.

It is like proving the world that the earth is flat in order to keep that someone happy.

It is sleeping on that someone's lap and being at peace with life.

It is the feeling of extreme joy, pleasure, happiness!

It is the dream of hearing back the three magical words.

It is about making that someone smile.

And doing things to sustain that smile.

It is about smiling every time you think about that someone.

It is about wanting to talk without having anything to talk about.

It is about the unconditional care, love and support.

It is about going to the extreme of sacrificing the love in order to keep that someone comfortable/happy.

It is about being friends before loving each other.

It is about hugging that someone, kissing their forehead, and saying - " I love you. It's like a dream come true. Lets grow old together :)"

If ever this thought comes in your mind -

Today, I wish I didn't love her. Every day I try to convince myself that I don't. And I've done a good job fooling others. All I need now is to fool myself - (MMT)

Then keep this in mind -

If you stop listening to your heart, then it will stop speaking to you. You shouldn't try to fool yourself into feeling something you don't. Or rather, you shouldn't try to fool yourself into not feeling something that you do. Your emotions will run numb if you succeed, and that's worse than the pain you are feeling now. Please try to find another way. You won't regret it.

Remember, Love just happens! Don't try to force it. It's all destined. Be what you are and you shall be rewarded with someone who loves as much as you do.
