life is like that part-2


Everybody has bad habits, it’s just the definition of bad varies from person to person.
Some people may view drinking, smoking, drugs or gambling as bad habit for others it might be viewed as punctuality, possessiveness, competition or even over-thinking as a bad habit.
What exactly to do when someone suffers from the lateral ones??
You can easily go to a re-hab facility to quit smoking, drugs or even gambling but where exactly a person goes to stop the over-competitiveness??
What exactly do I do if I cannot sleep knowing the fact that someone out there whom I know is doing better than me?
It may sound weird but when you get into a habit of getting everything you want, you can suffer badly from competitiveness. It’s not overnight that one develops these habits, they are a cultivated for many years , it’s just when the water crosses over your head do you realize what is happing wrong , but at that moment you may be too far away to do anything except for surrendering yourself to it.
There are so many times people could not sleep just because of the competitiveness spirit in then. It all starts as a friendly sport when you are young and you parents knowingly or unknowingly say that look he has finished his cereal, so now quickly eat yours. And gradually the cereal is replaced by marks or college degree and then the job.
Infact its not actually parents fault. It’s just in the fast pace of life they do not want their child to be left out yet somehow this may be a cause of worry.
There are some great people in the world who knowingly or unknowingly gets this type of addiction – to be the first and best in the work they do. And trust me it’s very hard to let go of this.
No matter how much you try not to scumb to the pressure of competition you will in the end lose all control. Insomnia, depression, anxiety, over-aggression and what not? In fact I personally believe that such kind of addiction is the most hardest of all,
On the brighter side, the satisfaction of completing a job is tremendous, the amount of self confidence you get after completion or the happiness is out of the world. But somehow down the line you lose the people close to you. Sometimes it’s better to be defeated or to let other person win, just to prove that you value your relationship more than work.
But then again addiction is addiction whether of alcohol of winning.
