Good morning friends
Recently, I came across a quote , ”A flower does not compare itself to the one beside it, it simply blooms.”
Actually, all of us are like flowers, we can all bloom when the right time comes, when the right atmosphere surrounds us, when we are ready for blooming; the only hindrance is when we compare ourselves with others. Comparison and the envy or jealousy which may at times follow the comparison can work as a poison for the flower within us.( At times, of course, comparison can motivate us to do better too ). If each and everyone of us is reassured that each one is unique, each one has a special place in the universe and each one matters; then it is easier to stop comparing and be content with the stage of development that you are currently in.
As I was thinking about all this, I remembered another post which I had read. It said,
“Someone will always be prettier, someone with always be smarter, someone will always be younger,
but they will never be YOU.”
This aptly sums up the situation, doesn’t it ?
YOU are always unique…एकमेव अद्वितीय… in the entire universe, there has been no person exactly like you, never in the entire history of mankind. Each person has different strengths and different weaknesses, each person blossoms at a different time, each one has a different destiny, but nevertheless, each one is equally important.
As Osho says, “Nobody is superior, nobody is inferior, but nobody is equal either. People are simply unique, incomparable. You are you, I am I. I have to contribute my potential to life; you have to contribute your potential to life. I have to discover my own being; you have to discover your own being.”
I hope that all of us can contribute our potential to life and work towards discovering our own being,
Love,
