Me, Myself and I : Part-II

Many people believe that perfectionism is a slow death, a state of mind that kills your personality , your outlook, your attitude and your way of thinking slowly, but surely. If everything were to be turn out just as the way I would want it to , just as the way I would plan , then I would never experience anything new. My life would be a series of stale processes ; processes that are as expected/ obvious as existence of birth & death. Every time I make a mistake, I experience something new, something unexpected , something that is uncalled for. It is very easy to make mistakes, but committing them is one hell of a job. But I have realized one thing in my life that whenever I have listened to my mistakes, I have grown.

I strongly believe that making "comparisons" with any particular individual will never fetch you anything, other than some negative thoughts, frustration and seed of pessimism in your life. Yes there are some exceptions here but the percentage is too small to be considered. For some reason, we tends to compare our selves with people who are either financially or physically or mentally stronger than us or possesses certain qualities/skills that has eluded us so far in our lives. One can very easily hear the comments like "this guy is very smart" or "that girl is extremely beautiful" or "that guy is so rich" . What we gain/achieve by saying these things ?? We tends to compare our selves with those people and brings certain negativity in our lives. But there is flip side to the coin as well. Few people have been able to take out positives from the comparisons and even able to achieve more than the people they always look up to.

I have never liked the comments of people that forces me to be defensive and specially the overly-aggressive nature of people around me. Being a Leo, I loves to be aggressive and I never likes to be defensive at any moment. There are times when I try to speak quickly, answer the questions which I don't need to, get irritated when interrupted by someone, try to put my point ahead of everyone. These are the moments when I have felt the weakest and these are the moments when I needed YOU the most.
