KEEP FOCUS AND DONT BE DISTRACTED IN LIFE

Such a beautiful message ...worth reading😍😍!!!

I was riding my bike this morning and I noticed a biker about ahead. 

I could guess he was riding a little slower than me and that made me feel good, I said to myself I will try to over take  him.

So I started riding faster and faster. Every  throttle  I was gaining on him a little bit. 

After just a few minutes I was only about 100 feet behind him, so I really picked up the pace and  pull my throttle . I was determined to catch up with him.

Finally, I did it! I caught up and passed him. Inwardly I felt very good. "I beat him". 

Of course, he didn't even know we were racing. 

After I passed him, I realized I had been so focused on competing against him that .....

I had missed my turn to my house,

I had missed the focus on my inner peace,

I missed to see the beauty of greenery around, 

I missed to do my inner soul searching nature
and 
in the needless hurry i braked and slipped twice or thrice and might have hit the sidewalk and broken a limb.

It then dawned on me, isn't that what happens in life when we focus on competing with 
co-workers, neighbours, 
friends,  family, trying to outdo them or trying to prove that we are more successful or more important and in the bargain 
we miss on our happiness within our own surroundings?

We spend our time and energy running after them and we miss out on our own paths to our given destination. 

The problem with unhealthy competition is that it's a never ending cycle.

There will always be somebody ahead of you, 
someone with a better job, 
nicer car/bike, 
more money in the bank, 
more education, 
a prettier wife, 
a more better house
better behaved children, 
better circumstances and 
better conditions etc.
 
But one important realisation is that 
You can be the best that you can be, when you are not competing with anyone.

Some people are insecure because they pay too much attention to 
what others are, 
where others are going, 
wearing and driving/riding, what others are talking.  

Take whatever you have, 
the height, the weight and personality.  
Accept it and realize, that you are blessed. Stay focused and live a healthy life. 

*There is no competition in Destiny. Each has his own.*

Comparison AND Competition  is the thief of JOY. 
It kills the Joy of Living your Own Life.

*Run your own Race that leads to Peaceful, Happy Steady Life.*

Step 1: Remove These Foods to Reverse Diabetes Naturally Certain foods negatively affect your blood sugar levels, cause inflammation and trigger immune responses. To reverse diabetes naturally, the first step is to remove these foods from your diet: Refined sugar: Refined sugar rapidly spikes blood glucose, and soda, fruit juice and other sugary beverages are the worst culprits.

The Dangers of Ego-Driven Spending: A Call for Reality Check

Image
In a world where status and outward appearances reign supreme, it's all too easy to fall into the trap of ego-driven spending. We live in a society where success is often measured by the size of our possessions and the prestige of our lifestyle. As a result, many of us find ourselves chasing after the latest trends and splurging on luxury items in a bid to keep up with the Joneses. But what if I told you that some of the wealthiest individuals in the world eschew ostentatious displays of wealth in favor of a more modest lifestyle? Take, for example, Warren Buffett, one of the most successful investors of all time. Despite his immense wealth, Buffett is known for his frugal habits, driving the same modest car and living in the same unassuming house for decades. Similarly, tech titan Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, is often seen wearing a simple gray t-shirt and jeans, despite being worth billions of dollars. And then there's Ingvar Kamprad, the founder of IKEA, who fam
