In today's world where we are constantly competing against one another in different forms of the rat race, the fight of who's best - we forget our true sense.
Our true sense of self comes from all that we have experienced in our life, that is unique to us. However in this race, the measures have got nothing to do with our internal strengths, and everything to meet a standard that is imposed upon us.
Most of these standards have become so normalized in human society, that we don't even get that it is collective manipulation. Unfortunately many of these measures have been ingrained in our daily lives. Right from the idea of what time we should walk, what we should wear, what we read, the news, opinions on what we eat - everything.
However, once we get curious about the actions we pursue and the intentions behind them - it reveals whether we are in an automatic mode or a deliberate creation mode.
Many times when you pursue things that are outside your box, might stun others and you might receive unsolicited advice that might influence you to retreat into your old ways.
But the thing is, our natural strengths can many times differ from what we have been qualified to pursue.
This is where the trust in ourselves is tested. When we surrender to our life experiences, we receive intuitive guidance on how we should carry forward.
Our life experiences are unique to us. So many components of our lives converge to bring us to the present moment. Our inherent personality & traits, our collective cultures, our primary conditioning and the lessons we have learned from all of this. All of these qualities make one unique to you. There is no one else who is the same as you.
And this is where your power lies. That there is just one of you and many others. Anytime we might compare ourselves with others, it is good to remind us that 'we are not the same'. There are so many different conditions that brought 2 people to a similar stage. But this doesn't give anyone the authority to criticize one against the other. Each experience is incomparable to another.
We are all made of multitudes, all one of a kind. Like snowflakes. When you own your truth, you honour the reality of all your experiences.
When you recognize and expand upon your strengths, it is easier to be of service in your rightful regard. Other skills can always be learned along the way.
I believe that if we want to pursue excellence in anything, all it requires is the will, the determination, the commitment to follow through and a tonne of practice.
You have just got to show up every day, and pursue ideas that encourage you to honour your truth in all possible ways! You are always evolving. Allow yourself to be transformed in ways that you never thought possible, in the process!
