IS COMPARISON IMPORTANT FOR SUCCESS ?

Every human  being is unique but we always forget that .As a result we always assess our own situation compared to others . Thus we start to complicate the situation for us .

Why do we compare ?

• In this modern age It has become our very nature that we can not lead a simple life without comparison and competition . Why do we do this ?It is because we continuously strive to better our life . Striving for betterment in life is a desire that keeps us going . During that process if we can not control our mind that desire gradually becomes our greed which forces us to remain motivated till we achieve our goal .As a feature of this motivation we compete with others and compare to remain focused on our target .

Result of comparison :  

• I have already mentioned that desire gradually makes us greedy .Sometimes we can understand it but most of the times we can not comprehend our shortcoming . Our greed is our weakness . This ultimately makes us a servant of our desire rather greed . In this stage one can not come out of this stage even if one wants to .It is because by that time we start to compromise with our life .While compromising with life we start loosing one of the biggest values of life - integrity of our self . A weak character person can easily be trapped by the vices of life and thus that person can not come out of the negative traps of life . And he goes round and round around his goal to be achieved .

If there is no comparison :

• When there is no comparison you can lead a happy life .Desire , which  is produced by mind , can not transform to greed .When there is no greed one can be the master of his own self . So the most important task is to know how to control your mind . With your mind under your control you can come out of any situation you want at any moment . That is the magic of having control over your mind . A healthy mind never competes or compares .It knows every one has their own unique abilities . Your intelligence will guide you to your deliverance . To know one's self is what we should desire for .

Shall we never compete or compare ?

• Of course we can compete or compare but it will be with you own self not with others .comparison or competition with other often produces negative results .We have to let it go .On the other hand if we compete or compare with our own self then our knowledge increases and we become wiser .
  
• Before every comparison we must ask our true self if that is actually necessary to achieve in life.Once you achieve your intellectual deliverance you are sure to be successful in life .

We may indeed say competition or comparison is healthy  if  it is done with one's own self .A happy and healthy mind can achieve anything in life . But unhealthy comparison never ends .It leads you to futility .It creates unrealistic measures for what constitutes success . Standards of measurements changes every single day . But in your comparison with yourself you fix your own standard . Every one's life is hard .So we have to face it .We have to live our own life not others'. To achieve success we have to work hard consistently .Only that can make us successful.

DOES YOGA HELP US TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS ?

Your success depends on how you can control your body and mind , to focus on your goal.It is easy for a calm or sublime mind and an energetic body to achieve success . Insight , inspiration and integrity are some qualities which invoke success quickly . Insight gives you the ability to observe things which remain un-noticed by others . Inspiration is the inner felt joy which makes you work beyond your own self . Integrity is the trust that you can build in others to be united with you joyfully to work for a common goal . 

• Our body is made of five elements Water, Earth, Fire , Air  and Space . The balance of these elements can make you a successful person . The imbalance within our body spoils our life . So we have to learn how to cleanse our inner self . Here yoga and meditation play a very important role .

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF YOGA (Its origin )

 

According to Wikipedia 

The idea of International Day of Yoga was first proposed by the current Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi during his speech at the UNGA, on 27 September 2014.He stated:

Yoga is an invaluable gift of India's ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well-being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature. By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help in well being. Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day.

— Narendra Modi, UN General Assembly

Following this initial proposal, the UNGA held informal consultations on the draft resolution entitled "International Day of Yoga", on 14 October 2014. The consultations were convened by the delegation of India. In 2015 Reserve Bank of India issued a 10 rupees commemorative coin to mark the International Day of Yoga.

          ..................................................................................................

When proposing 21 June as the date, Modi said that the date was the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere (shortest in the southern hemisphere), having special significance in many parts of the world. From the perspective of yoga, the summer solstice marks the transition to Dakshinayana. The second  full moon after summer solstice is known as Guru Poornima. Shiva, the first yogi (Adi Yogi), is said to have begun imparting the knowledge of yoga to the rest of mankind on this day, and became the first guru (Adi Guru). Dakshinayana is also considered a time when there is natural support for those pursuing spiritual practices.

 THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL DAY OF YOGA

According to Wikipedia 

The first International Day of Yoga was observed around the world on 21 June 2015. The Ministry of AYUSH made the necessary arrangements in India. 35,985 people, including Narendra Modi and dignitaries from 84 nations, performed 21 asanas (yoga postures) for 35 minutes at Rajpath in New Delhi. The day was observed by millions across the world. NCC cadets entered the Limca Book of Records for the "largest yoga performance simultaneously by a single uniformed youth organisation" by performing at multiple venues.

 In a nut shell we may conclude Yoga reduces stress by relieving our anger and anxiety .It calms our minds down .It improves our mental,physical and spiritual health and enhances our quality of life .It promotes quality of sleep .So we must practice yoga everyday from our inner self to live a better life and be an achiever of success .

WHAT ARE YOU CAPABLE OF ?

You do not know what are you capable of until you reach for it.We have all come across people who have achieved incredible things beyond their capacity.Again we come across people who could not reach their desired goal though they have much potentiality .So unless we reach a certain achievement we can not comprehend our capacity.

       Our potentialities go in vain :

• We are full of potentialities but we are ignorant of it . We have doubts that stand on our way of achieving anything .
  

• We are lazy to any action on our plan.                                                                                                                          
  

  Process of learning :                                                                                                                              

  When we start any action it builds up self confidence in us . Every step ,small or big , counts .Only after achieving you know you can do that .                                                                          
•  If you try it can have two results - Success or failure . Both give knowledge .Success gives fulfillment , happiness , joy , confidence .                                                                                               
• Failure is also a learning method to re-fix the plan and resuming action till the goal is achieved .Failure is an important process of learning .  
  
  

  Be the difference :

  
  If you want to achieve exceptional results , you must become different to do anything in your own unique and special way .In this way you can differentiate  yourself from the people around you .                                                                                                                                                                                                               
• You have to take charge - take charge of your life as a whole , your present even your future .Only this will give you the much needed mental strength to come out from the common average people around you .In doing so you might have to face leg pulling or ridicule by the common others .                                                                                                                  
• If you are afraid to follow your own uniqueness being influenced by others then you have to go back to your old secure square ground and will never be capable of finding out yourself .So be different to be the achiever of your goal   .                                                                                                                       
• Do strive and have courage to be what you want ,  only then the unknown qualities which you have will be discovered .Have faith in yourself .
  

   

  Work hard to find out your best self : 

  
  

  When you choose to  be different you must work hard to bring out the best of your self .                                                                        
• Mix with like minded people to stay focused and inspired .If you can do so your future will automatically be illuminated . Your every action will lay  out your bright future .                                    
• Grate things which you never could imagine will open u in front of you . Only your positive action can yield your desired goal and you will  become a name , an institution in itself .
  
  

  A better you :

   

  In the process of taking action you acquire more knowledge , which is power in itself .You achieve a better understanding of yourself  and others . You become wise and sublime . Your restlessness calms down and you discover your own self .Your confidence grows much higher .So unless you put yourself into question and test you can not know yourself. When you put yourself to test you have to work hard and honestly to pass that test of life . This process transforms you .After the completion of this self testing process you ultimately find yourself to be a different person .                                                                                   
• Continue your search of yourself constantly and search within to know what you are capable of .You have only one life and you must live it with your conditions only .Win over fear that grounds you down .With your fearless self be the winner of life , along with observing what you are capable of .

YOUR LIFESTYLE WILL LEAD YOU TO SUCCESS

ROLE OF PARENTS TO TEACH A GOOD LIFESTYLE TO THEIR CHILDREN FROM THE VERY CHILDHOOD

• According to Cambridge Dictionary  -

Some one's way of living is his lifestyle .

It indicates the things that a person normally do in his day to day life .It plays a vital role in one's life .It can decide if you are going to succeed or fail in life .So there are certain habits that can make a man healthy When a man is healthy only then he can pursue his dream and be successful in life .Here again the good values play an important role . 

 

•  Teaching lifestyle should start from the very childhood .The parents both should be very careful while training their kid about life style .Children always imitate their parents first .They follow them without even knowing it but they observe their parents very minutely. Thus they learn their first lesson from their parents .Whatever value they will find in the surrounding they will catch it very quickly .So the formation period of any child is very crucial. 

•  To teach the children good values parents have to follow the same human values in their life .They have to follow the same healthy lifestyle which they want to teach their children .A healthy atmosphere in the house gives security to every child .Children can sense a good relation between their parents .Even if two fighting parents behave normally in front of the child ,the little ones can feel it in their heart though they might not be able to express it and it has impact upon them.So the parents should try to be in good relation for the sake of their children .When a mother is sad her mood is transferred to her kid .Even when the dad is upset the child feels reluctant to come to him and a distance is created between the child and the dad. Thus the child gets a set back in his normal emotional growth .

• If a child watches his parents to be hard working from childhood , that child will learn to work hard automatically .Likewise if a child watches lazy parents that laziness will be carried over to that child for sure .Parents can not blame that child for that as they themselves have set that example .So to have a healthy and active kid parents themselves must lead a healthy and active life . It is very important to teach children physical exercise from the childhood .

•  Another aspect is good food habit .Parents must follow a healthy diet plan at home .Once that habit is grown in the child he himself will take care of it in future ,otherwise junk foods will ultimately lead the children to obesity or other health issues .

LET US FIND OUT OUR SELF FIRST

Human beings have certain special abilities like singing ,dancing ,painting etc.An individual wants to carry out his interest but he is influenced by society or family or parents .Parents motivate us to follow what they want us to be .Thus our talent or those special abilities are destroyed by pressure .Individuals have to accept  the codified definition of success .If it goes on none can pursue his or her dream in life .So to stop that we have to oppose our parents from our childhood . We have to stick to my own intentions .But we have to do it with great humility .We have to convince our parents that myself is going to be HAPPY with what I do because it is something of my own .It might not earn much money but it is dear to me so I must pursue it. My creative work will give me my identity .That is why pursuing one's talent is very important as that is concerned with the identity of an individual .

We have only one life to live . One day we all will die .So it becomes very important that we must enjoy what we like to do in this little span of life .If we are torn between the demand of our parents and my own desire it will not give me any happiness .So we have to avoid it .If we follow our heart and simultaneously try to follow the codes of success of society we will become hypocrites. It will make us corrupt .If we try to please our parents then we have to sacrifice our own talents .It is because if we also follow our heart we are surely corrupt ourselves as it begins with self interest and greed .It is inside us .So we have to change our heart first .When we are jealous , lazy we hate others .Never be corrupt to our own selves .It is inside our heart and brain .It gives birth to cynicism . There is no need to be angry , no need to be envious .If one can lead a life of one's own desire and be Happy , there is no need to follow success .There is no need to ever promise anything unless you are absolutely sure to carry it out .There is no need to think big or think I am superior to others .let us be humble .Success simply reflects power ,status and position .By following your heart one might not be so called successful .But there is nothing to worry because we are we all going to die .Hapiness after pursuing your talent or ability to do anything of one's choice will give fulfillment .

People do not feel it because they are afraid of loosing the so called success .We must try to be free of fear .If we continue to think of something of future it will create a sense of loosing that ,from which a sense of fear develops. Thinking about future brings fear .Our brain records the thoughts .We need these records to go through our life .Recording is memory .Our body is memory itself .Our genes know these records in our body .Thinking is part of memory .Knowledge is based on experience .Whole of our being is memory .So let us try just to exist without being judgemental.
