Competition


Each one of us is born unique. But why is it that sometimes, we wish to be exactly like others, or aim to be better than others in NOT so good ways. There is this thing called, healthy competition, but trying to compare ourselves to others and doing things to destroy them in order for us to be on top is not pleasant at all. The crab mentality is aimed at reaching the top by pulling others down. I am not saying that we should be contented with what we have when we know that there is so much more room for improvement, but not at the expense of others being aggravated, or deliberately pulled down. There is always something about us that is SPECIAL. Let us focus on our own talents, skills, and natural gifts. Accept the fact that there is always someone beyond us, physically, intellectually, spiritually, and financially. Happiness lies on how we accept ourselves. Only then, we can safely say that we can be happy for others too, without envy. We are our own worst enemy. We must fight the devil within us. Yes, we can!

That is very true Jane. There are so many things that we are blessed with. We should focus on that. Bitterness and envy are not going to take us anywhere peaceful. Enjoy your day. By the way, can you please update me with your latest addy and cp number and PM me on the other side? Thanks.

Meann, I must admit, I was rotten spoiled when I was a child, being that I am the youngest in the family. Thankfully, I am the total opposite of what I was when I grew up. I am actually, almost self-less. I share even the food that I am about to put into my mouth, and I have so much compassion to the less fortunate. But you are absolutely right! Loving and giving in the child's whims unreasonably can make him/her selfish and always wanting to be the first, the winner, and always the one on top. THe frustration threshold is very low, However, like you said, if it comes with discipline and explanation from the parents that it is alright to lose sometimes, to others, but always aim to win the next time around. My grandnephew who is not even 5 years old yet has that " I, ME, and MYSELF" concept, that of being in need of being the FIRST, and the WINNER all the time...We are slowly teaching him to give way to others, while he has not fully developed that negative personality. It can be very embarrassing when in public at times. I advised my niece on what to do.

 Uncontrolled competitiveness is not healthy , like in my blog before titled Cancer, competing is one of the metastasizing emotional cancer. If uncontrolled it spreads and ruin relationship even life, the others are complaining, criticizing, contending and comparing. Too much of anything is harmful anyway. I agree there are always above us and there are always that are below us .

Hello Che! I will try to review that blog of yours. Good thing about here in FFF is we can always express ourselves without having to worry that our relatives can read or real life close friends will "own" our blogs. It's an entirely different audience. I have more reservations about blogging what I feel on the other side than here. I somehow feel that I can easily vent here and that my co- bloggers are more understanding.

Vi, I am glad I did not like the ELR or any of the rooms for that matter..Otherwise, I have more FFF enemies than friends by now.

I've been gone to long from this website. I didn't know they even made changes to the format. But anyway as to this blog, we should compete only with ourselves and of course the casinos in Vegas .
I'm a senior citizen . Don't expect me to remember anything
