Struggle And We !!!


Struggle is an important part of one's life.
Everyone has to go through the hard times in life.
We do get support from our near and dear ones..
But the truth is: What we go through is best understood by our own self.

It is difficult to explain how does it feel in those hard times..
We have seen people who are not able to cope up with the struggle and give away their entire lives.
There are also people who take their hardship in stride and turn it into a huge success.
WE need to learn from these people and move ahead in life.

Here I remember a short story that i read a long time ago about a man and a moth.
I would like to share it with you all..

A man found a cocoon of an emperor moth. He took it home so that he could watch the moth come out of the cocoon. On the day a small opening appeared, he sat and watched the moth for several hours as the moth struggled to force the body through that little hole.

Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther. It just seemed to be stuck. Then the man, in his kindness, decided to help the moth, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The moth then emerged easily.

But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the moth because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the little moth spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.

What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the moth to get through the tiny opening was the way of forcing fluid from the body of the moth into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon. Freedom and flight would only come after the struggle. By depriving the moth of a struggle, he deprived the moth of health.


Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to go through our life without any obstacles, we would be crippled.

We would not be as strong as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for regrets.

Struggles are here just to teach us how to live life and turn us into better human beings.

Compete Your Ownself !!!

For the betterment of one's life one needs to compete...
This competition shouldn't be between two different people
but between what you were and what you are..

There is no sense in proving your superiority to others..
Because while doing that you are demotivating the other person
And just growing your "self esteem"
We are not here to show anyone what is wrong and what is right..
It could be what we see as right, could be completely wrong.
Its just like the glass filled with water; one sees as half empty and the other as half full. Here both are right, only the perspective of seeing at things is different.

So let the "Ego" go...

To achieve success one needs to
- Be Humble,
- Be Down to earth,
- Be Always ready to learn
- Be Positive
- Be Optimistic
- Be Confident
- Take Opportunities
- Work as a Team
- Work on your Failures
- Last but not the least "SMILE"

Shining the light of our consciousness into the dark can expose negativity and transform it into something positive.

We need to implement things on ourselves.
If we can't change ourselves, how can we bring change into others lives?
Every coin has two sides,
There is always a pro to a con..
Its just what we see and how we see at things,

In fact...
There is nothing noble about being superior to some other person.
True nobility lies in being superior to your own former self!!
