Let me begin with an incidence. Imagine yourself riding a bicycle, in the bright morning sunshine, exercising as well as enjoying the verdure as you are riding. The climate is extremely appealing. Now you have had all the exercise and wish to get back home.
Suddenly, another person, appears from a crossroad, in front of you. The person is very energetic and has a speed like the 'tauktae'(the storm that had very high winds). Looking at the guy, you want yourself to be faster and better and so you instantaneously try to overtake him/her, forgetting the scenery that made you happy.
What's next? In this process you actually forget the lane that takes you to your home and miss it in the flow of competition. The ultimate result is :you have to travel a longer distance, indeed wasting your time to reach home(destination).
The point I want to bring home is, in this ''extra'' competitive world, we tend to forget our actual purpose and are prone to move in the path of earning fame and pride. We get carried away in the spirit to prove the society and in return forget what actually makes us happy.
Are we living for PEOPLE?
ABSOLUTELY NOT. We have to fulfill our own desires and aspirations, and for this we need to stay conscious whether we are on the track of SELF PURPOSE, or WORLD'S PURPOSE.
JUST REMEMBER : OVERTAKING SOMEONE, OR COMPARING YOURSELF AND FINDING IT BETTER, DOES NOT MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL. TRUE SUCCESS IS WHEN YOU ARE BETTER THAN WHAT YOU WERE YESTERDAY, IN EVERY WAY. THAT'S WHEN YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL!
So the next time you cycle, enjoy the scenery and don't forget your home!:)
