Excessive competition and constant comparison with others can lead to discontentment and despair, but seeing ourselves as unique individuals will lead to body-mind-spirit harmony, Jamuna Rangachari discovers.
Oscar Wilde said, “Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.”
Namrata Gulati Sapra, a writer, got married in 2015. Having worked continuously for five years, she decided to take some time off. Eventually, she made new friends; they knew how to drive, cook well and drape sarees beautifully. Namrata started feeling incomplete and less independent because she couldn’t do any of these things. She decided to work on her skills and succeeded. Then, she realised that many of her friends were doing exceptionally well in their careers. Again, she decided to revive her career and took up a job. Unfortunately, it didn’t match her qualification and experience, and she quit within a month, feeling dissatisfied. “It is at this point that I realised I was constantly running the rat race,” says Namrata. Instead of feeling envious of her friends, she started praying for their happiness and helping them out in any way she could. “Once I embraced this approach in life, God began showering his blessings upon me. Lucrative projects fell into my lap one after the other and I finally felt content. I have followed this path till today and am glad that I stopped comparing my life with that of the others who I’m sure had their own set of challenges to overcome.”
