Enjoy the process and not the moment of victory alone

Enjoy the process…and not the moment of victory alone...

It is a classic example of how human psychology works…

Consider a group of men competing to climb on the tallest mountain, the one amongst them takes the challenge very seriously and puts all his efforts to compete with his other group members, after an enormous efforts he manages to be ahead of the group members but still away from the ‘ultimate challenge’ as he feels ‘to be on top of the world ’. After hours of hard work with the concept in mind that when he reaches the top he would be the ‘winner’.

He continues to move ahead ,just a step away from his target he takes a long breath in to enjoy his ultimate victory….he closes his eyes puts his right foot forward .. exhales and opens his eyes ..with his joy knowing no bounds … he turns around ..then he sees something he had never expected ; there is a series of taller mountains in front of him and bulk of people struggling to get on the top.

So he is forced to think who is going to be the ultimate winner, the answer to the question is no one is going to be a winner or every one is going to be the winner because it is up to the very individual how he perceives his victory, So it is very important to compete with yourself or relative to another person, in a span of time you must improve yourself in everyway.

Further thinking critically we can conclude that it is rather nonsense to enjoy the moment of victory only, because it is relative, but it is the process to the victory that should be enjoyed. So the fundamental thing is you cannot run away from competition and it is unending so better you enjoy the path or process to your goal rather than the moment of achieving your goal only. So enjoy life and live in a moment!!
