A seed sprouts in silence, while a tree falls with a thunderous crash.
Destruction may be loud, but creation moves in quietude. Such is the power of silence.
Grow in silence. Do not become a mere copy of another; be your authentic self, follow your own path. It is only by walking your own journey that you will reach your true destination, not someone else’s.
You are unique, endowed with distinct talents and a purpose in life. You cannot mimic others, nor can they replicate you. Your gift, your talent, bestowed upon you by God, is yours, to share with love, compassion, kindness, gratitude, and appreciation for all that surrounds you. In this way, you find joy, and celebrate the achievements of others without competition, envy, or jealousy. After all, what is the value of comparison when you are Unique?
God didn’t create anything broken, nothing bad. As human beings, we cause destruction.
Observe the nature around us; it’s in harmony. The sun and the moon do not vie for supremacy, nor does the sunrise challenge the sunset, proclaiming, “I am superior, providing more warmth, shining brighter.”
A flower does not vie with another, boasting “I am more beautiful and fragrant than you.” A bird does not sing with the claim, “You owe me,” but simply sings, for that is its nature and it does with such grace. It is an act of pure love, a perfect example of symbiosis.
Fauna and flora understand their roles, without which the universe could not exist; there is only love – it’s symbiosis. Between them, there is no competition, envy, or hatred. It’s a captivating and diverse phenomenon with various interactions that allow numerous organisms to coexist.
All of these serve as life lessons for us.
Yet, how many of us are aware of this, in a society so disconnected from reality?! We are more disconnected than ever, often not present, lost in virtual reality rather than our own. We have forgotten to be ourselves. We’ve lost touch with our origins, rarely questioning where we come from and why we are here. We don’t even know who we are, isn’t it? Is our self-perception shaped by others’ views or our own? We often fail to recognize our worth, thus becoming victims of others’ perceptions.
Dear You, no matter where you’re, stay true to yourself and be authentic. Engage in beautiful deeds, without expecting anything in return, have the courage to live in full understanding and harmony with yourself, take responsibility for who you are, and shape your own story.
Competition is not about others, but about measuring yourself against who you were yesterday and who you are today. Always maintain honesty with yourself and others. Embrace your true self fearlessly; the world will adapt.
