GOALS:

Tmake children understand they are individually unique.

CLICK OF THE TOPIC:

Experience fulfillment and joy by understanding you are unique

ABOUT THE TOPIC:

When you don't understand the potential you have been blessed with, when you have not discovered that you are enough unto yourself, you automatically don't feel confident about the stuff inside you, and you start following orders. Buddha says, 'Nothing exists except in relationship'. Suppose you were the only person on a new planet, would you call yourself tall or short? Ugly or beautiful? Rich or poor? Tell me! You can't call yourself anything, am I right? You will simply be you! That's all! Understand that this is the truth even when you are on this planet. Each individual is unique. Can you compare a lion and a horse? Do we ever compare ourselves to flowers or birds or mountains? We simply enjoy their beauty. In the same way, why can't we see and enjoy other human beings also?

Although human beings appear to be the same, each one is unique and traveling on a different path. As long as you travel on your path with full concentration, you will experience fulfillment every minute. You won't even look at another person's track.

  • ¤ When you don't feel confident about you?
  • ¤ When there won't be any comparison?

Finding your center is the only way out of this whole cycle of comparison and jealousy.

They will get you instant name and fame and money. The real achievement is in the inner world.

Let the work in the periphery go on undisturbed, but center yourself in your being. You will then be able to preform much better in the outer world, because your inner intelligence will be growing, guiding. Then automatically you will stop swaying in accordance with the outer world chievements and feel stability and joy in the center of your own being. Finding your center is the only way out of this whole cycle of comparison and jealousy
