Life is not a competition!

Life is not a competition. Each one is on their own journey, live according to your choices, capacity, values and principles.

The output of our actions is in proportion to our inputs. Inputs could be circumstances, health, resources, and value systems. Our output is not dependent on the output of others.

Past karma is a very important input factor. Even if all the present input factors of two people are equal, their output could be different due to past karma. Hence, no competition.

If we compromise on our input factor i.e. values, or interfere with the input of others, we are creating deep karma which will influence our output today, and in the future.
