I am the Best

Most people in the current era lack self-confidence and self-esteem, writes Dr KK Aggarwal.

Most people in the current era lack self-confidence and self-esteem. They face recurrent episodes of depressions. They suffer from inferiority complex as all the time they compare themselves with others.

It's a common saying "everybody likes somebody else's wife, money and his own buddhi or intellect.

An organization is good or bad is decided by its people. If the people are good the organization is good and if the people are bad the organization is bad. Imagine a situation where two students of a school are asked "how is your school". The first student answers: "the school is the worst in the city" and the second one says: "the school is the best in the city". The teacher's reply to both the students is the same: "it has to be because student like you are there in this school".

Which ever organization you work for, it has to be the best, because you are working there and you are the best. If it was not the best you would not have been there.

The mantra of success lies in the self affirmation of "I am the best"

Everybody is born with a hidden talent. One should only look for positive things in oneself and others. One should never compare himself or herself with the neighbors or friends, as one does not know how many bad things they might be hiding in themselves.

If God wanted you not to be a good person he would not have made you a human being. Remember, a human being is born passing through 84 lakhs of different kinds of living beings.

The Eastern scripture explains that in this world there are approximate 84 lakh of species of living beings which include 3 million species of plant life; 2 million 7,00,000 species of insects; 1 million 4,00,000 kinds of birds; 9,00,000 kind of water animals and 4,00,000 kind of land animals including men.

One therefore, should not only look oneself through the eyes of flesh but also through the eyes of mind and soul. One should not only analyze one's physical profile but also the ego and soul profile.

External beauty is important but is incomplete without the beauty of the mind and the soul. Ashtawakra Gita was a dialogue between the sage Ashtawakra and Raja Janak. Ashtawakra was a person with eight curves in the physical body. But his soul profile was unmatchable.
