From Competing to Complimenting: A Shift for Peace and True Power by J Sampath, Founder and CEO of JB Soft System
In today’s world, competition has been glorified to the extent that it becomes a default setting in our minds. From childhood, we’re conditioned to compare, outperform, and strive to be better than others - often without realizing that this constant race strips us of peace and connection.
Man, by nature, is attention-seeking. We seek acknowledgment, appreciation, and recognition to feel good about ourselves. But in this pursuit, we fall into the endless loop of comparison and competition - not just with strangers, but with colleagues, friends, and even family. It`s subtle, yet relentless.
Even when we win, it often feels hollow. One victory only leads to the next target, the next person to outshine. The hunger never ceases, and satisfaction remains elusive.
But there is another way - a shift from competing to complimenting.
When we compliment instead of compete, we create alignment, not rivalry. We foster harmony, not hierarchy. Imagine what happens when one adds to another - 1 added with 1 becomes 11. A simple gesture of support or acknowledgment can magnify impact exponentially.
Like a drop that merges into the ocean and becomes the ocean, we too can dissolve the ego and find peace by becoming part of something greater - through harmony, unity, and mutual upliftment.
In that alignment - with ourselves, with others, and with a higher purpose - we find true power. Not the power to dominate, but the power to elevate. Not success at the cost of others, but success with others.
Peace doesn`t lie in being superior. It lies in synergy.
Let us move from competing to complimenting.
