Nothing Matters

The only person you compete against is yourself.

The only person you are answerable to is yourself.

Can you hold your head high infront of yourself, and say with pride, that you have been true to yourself? If you can, you need not worry about anything.

But, can you?


You set your own standards, then you try to live up to them. Then you try to beat them. Then you set new standards. This is about performance; this is about succeeding in the world; this is also about moral fibre. You set your own standards. Nobody sets them for you. Then you live by them; nobody can judge whether you do - only you can.

Do you? Are you honest with yourself? Or do you live in a world that you have pulled over your mind - as most people do - where you have convinced yourself that you are the only person who is correct - who can be correct - no matter what?

Whom do you try to convince? Whom do you try to pacify? Who needs convincing, pacifying?

Don't you?


It is all in the mind, see.


Be true to yourself. That is what matters. Nothing else matters.


The choice is always yours. It is not what you are inside, but what you do, that defines you.*

Making the right choice is the most difficult thing to do. It is also the easiest thing to do. The road less trodden, has been travelled, see. If somebody can travel it, so can you. Or can you? Can't you?
