It’s filled in each of ours mind to
achieve things in life.
We feel we would get a great amount of
satisfaction when we accomplish certain things. For that we say ourselves to
work harder and harder so that we accomplish our desired goal in our life.
For lots of people, accomplishment is
like getting a rank one at certain field. It makes them think that’s the top
most position available to anyone and they must have it, and they think they would
be the supreme at that field.
The sad part is, positions change very
quickly, often when we reach the top, the level of our dedication may lower or
someone else’s dedication may rise. And a defeat when we are at the top always
leaves us devastated.
Something like if I am the best player
of table tennis in my college i.e. the supreme position, I would obviously get
the feeling as I have accomplished the best spot available. As the time passes,
when someone else beats me in the game, I will be broken. It’s like someone
less competent has gone over me. It feels something as shame inside us.
But in case we follow the ‘Satisfaction
through Growth’ factor rather than following ‘Satisfaction by Accomplishment’
factor, it would be lesser burden even when we fail during a position when we are
at the top
If we get the mentality of being better
than what we were yesterday, i.e. growing ourselves rather than competing for
the positions, I feel any rise or any fall in so called positions wouldn’t be
much of a problem. Because every day is a sort of victory feeling to us, as for
sure we are better than what we were yesterday.
Instead of aspiring or clinging on with
the position, let us try to grow and be better every day at what we do.
Why should a position matter when we
know we are growing each and every day without anyone stopping us.
