"Stop competing in other people's fields and you won't feel like you're losing again."

Mini Insight - EP11

Or are you just playing someone else's game?

Maybe the feeling of yourself being "slow."

Not due to our ability.

But it's caused by taking life to compete.

On the pitch we didn't sign up to play in the first place.

You didn't lose.

You just accidentally played someone else's game.

And that game...

Never make you win the way you want to.

Stop racing

And choose your own field.

Because people who know what game they are playing

Never had to run after anyone's cheers.

Read the You Were Never Behind series.

... Read moreในชีวิตจริงหลายครั้งที่เราอาจรู้สึกว่าตัวเอง 'ช้า' หรือไม่ก้าวหน้าเท่าคนอื่น จนเกิดความกดดันและความวิตกกังวลว่าตัวเองกำลังแพ้ แต่ถ้าลองพิจารณาดูดีๆ ว่าเราเผลอเล่นเกมของคนอื่นอยู่หรือเปล่า? เพราะบ่อยครั้งที่ความรู้สึกเหล่านี้ไม่ได้มาจากความสามารถแท้จริงของเรา แต่เป็นเพราะเรากำลังเปรียบเทียบตัวเองในสนามหรือบริบทที่ไม่ได้เหมาะสมกับเราเลย จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว การเลิกแข่งขันกับคนอื่นที่มีเส้นทางหรือเป้าหมายต่างกัน ทำให้ผมเริ่มรู้สึกสงบใจและมีความสุขกับสิ่งที่ทำ เพราะได้เลือกเล่นในสนามของตัวเองที่สะท้อนความเป็นตัวตนและความฝันของตัวเองจริงๆ การหาสนามการแข่งขันที่เหมาะนั้น คือการตั้งคำถามกับตัวเองว่าเป้าหมายและความหมายของความสำเร็จสำหรับเราเป็นอย่างไร รวมถึงกำหนดจังหวะในการเติบโตที่ไม่ต้องเร่งรีบหรือเปรียบเทียบกับใคร สิ่งนี้ไม่เพียงช่วยลดความเครียดจากการวิ่งตามเสียงเชียร์ของคนอื่นเท่านั้น แต่ยังเปิดโอกาสให้เราเรียนรู้และพัฒนาตัวเองอย่างมีคุณค่าจริงแทนที่จะเสียเวลาไปกับการแข่งที่ไร้จุดหมาย การรู้จักตัวเองและเลือกสนามของตัวเอง คือกุญแจสำคัญที่ทำให้คุณไม่เคยต้องรู้สึกว่าแพ้อีก จึงอยากแนะนำให้ทุกคนเริ่มต้นจากการตั้งคำถามกับตัวเองว่า เรากำลังเล่นเกมของใคร และเกมนั้นตอบโจทย์ความต้องการและความสุขของเราจริงหรือไม่? การตัดสินใจหยุดแข่งในสนามของคนอื่นและเริ่มต้นสร้างเส้นทางของเราเองอาจเป็นการเปลี่ยนแปลงที่ทำให้ชีวิตมีคุณค่าและเติมเต็มมากขึ้น

Ladies, stop falling for potential and start watching character.
As a woman of God, you need more than a man who knows church language, posts Bible verses, or looks spiritual in public. A man can quote scripture and still lack the character of Christ. The fruit will always expose what words try to hide. A godly man is not just someone who says “God told me,”

Your house is not being judged on its own. It is being compared. When a buyer walks through your home, they are not asking if it is good. They are asking how it stacks up against everything else they have seen. Is it better than the last one. Is it priced better. Does it feel better.
