Welcome to Mohanji Speaks. Hello my dear friends. Today let us think about certain aspects of our life which is taking away a lot of our energy. That which consumes our energy more are the wasted stuff of our life not the necessary stuff. A few things I will tell you look at three C's of our life C alphabet criticism comparison competition we start with the last one competition we have been trained to compete with somebody or something but have we ever thought at any point in time whether it is necessary or not and most usually most often than not it is not necessary we don't need it but competition is not a negative word you can definitely compete with yourself that will help you to improve yourself. Second C criticism who is our most bitter critic ourselves we criticize ourselves more than the whole world criticizes us we judge ourselves more than the entire world we are our most beloved friend as well as the most hated enemy it's all us everything is us criticism takes a lot of time away and it even affects our self-esteem we compromise our experiences for the sake of critical view comparisons comparisons with what imagine you are an orange and you are comparing yourself with an apple definitely you are not the apple you are an orange and be proud of it you are what you are you are inevitably yourself you are unique you are original you are authentic if you clearly understand this you can't compare with anybody else comparison is stupidity in fact that time can be used for actualization means coming closer to yourself exploring your authenticity your original state your originality that time is worth it instead of comparing ourselves with others and creating a kind of competition within and in the bargain exhausting ourselves is that worth it absolutely not it's waste of time along with it we see that in children because we have groomed on them or we have tuned them like that they are always in the mode of competition comparison we compare them with other children they look at that boy or that girl how well they are doing how good they are etc that's in fact creating more divisions in our children more confusions in them instead if we gently help them to come in terms with their own uniqueness originality that would be the biggest gift that we can give to our children we have a great life if we understand it with clarity our life is great amazing life first and foremost we don't experience its greatness because we resist a lot we resist too much we cling on to certain bad things of the past and we don't let them go a thing of the past stays on only if the mind holds that experience or mind analyses it and enjoys it in a way to be in its presence or having its presence in our life but that's unnecessary junk past is finished we have nothing to do with it today is our reality how authentic are you today how effective are you today how much you are able to experience life today we are only experiencing our authenticity our uniqueness we are not experiencing anything else we are experiencing the world as we are and this connection with ourselves will take us a long way in the contentment factor if we stop criticizing comparing and competing look at our world how the world will be all unique people all authentic and all original walking this earth expressing their originality and authenticity the world will be brighter but at the same time 80 percent of the people of the world are busy competing comparing criticizing judging analyzing and what do you get end of the day disappointments sheer frustrations anxieties fears jealousies guilt regrets we can avoid we can indeed avoid all these emotions easily if we connect to our authenticity connect to our originality accept it totally against all odds and ignoring the opinions of others about us unless they are creative criticism somebody who's guiding us to actualize ourselves that is creative criticism somebody who's guiding us to explore our own authenticity is creative that's a good suggestion criticism that's fine apart from that nothing is important our own connection with ourselves is the most authentic connection you can ever make in a lifetime anything else any opinions any criticism is not important anything that helps you to connect with yourself is good anything which explores your authenticity is good anything which reminds you of your originality is good and that's the good things of life not the materials you get not the positions or the possessions they are all temporary but your own exploration of your authenticity is permanent and that makes you an effective person and a compelling personality you are your own ally don't be your own enemy i leave you with this thought today think about it we'll talk about something else next time have a good day this is mofinji for you
