SHOW OFF AND CELEBRATE
How many of you like to show off?
You all like to show off ?
how do you like some of your friends showing off all the time? Do you like it?
No. You don't like that they are showing off, but you like to show off.
Right? Huh ?
Where does it take us?
Have you thought about it?
Hypocrisy
and then? Too much ego.
You know it's OK to show off. but you should do it only rarely and sparingly.
You get it? I don't want you to be just really docile.
And not show off and just be very quiet and keep all your talent to yourself.
No point.
But when it comes really to show your talent, you get nervous,
you don't show off where you have to show off
what?
we keep everything to ourselves and when the time comes, we just… thinking about it.
So, and then you regret “oh I should have exhibited all my talents”, right?
Regret, yes?
So, what is the solution?
you don't like others showing off and you like to show off.
Appreciate your friends, and they appreciate you back.
Follow you back!
We are not even aware we are showing off.
We know we want to show off.
And we do not leave that space for others to show off.
if someone is showing off, let them do it.
why don't you compliment people?
We all are so stingy; we crimp when we have to compliment others.
and we would like to take all compliment also.
You know? this doesn't show off a good personality.
this doesn't show off your character.
What do you say ?
and you cannot be loved by people, if you want to show off,
you don't want others to give the truth to exhibit themselves.
to express themselves.
then will you be considered a very friendly person?
nobody considers you, as a good human being.
people who show off too much are not respected.
Do you want to be respected? or just to show off?
Respect
at the same time, in the same breath I'm telling you: you show off.
You know the peacock? You saw the Peacock?
It just shows off only at sometimes of the day.
not all the time.
you wait to see that « Oh Wow ».
like that, you show off for some moments in life.
When it is needed you show off. when you go on the stage you show off.
When you are with the people you show off.
when there is a time to show off, you do it.
without nervousness. If you feel nervous take a long deep Ujjayi breath.
You know what is a Ujjayi breath?
Breathing from the back of the throat, with a little sound.
learn meditation. Do bhastrika.
then you will know when to show off, and went to close in.
You see what I'm saying?
Suppose you're playing with juniors.
you want to show your power with them?
Suppose you're playing cricket, basketball or some game with young people.
Where you have 100% chance of winning all too.
do you enjoy that game?
which game is more enjoyable?
Competition. Isn’t?
but you know you should enjoy playing with children also.
Why? you must make them play.
There are only two positions in life. What?
Either you win and you are happy, or you make others win and you are still happy.
got it?
Ok. How many of you are upset, unhappy when you lose a game?
you're upset? Ok. (off camera « majorly »)
So, when you lose a game, who you’re playing with
I'm not thinking about a game, I'm thinking about other things in life, whenever I lose,
It's easy to lose from a kid but…
No, with competitors, when you lose, you become miserable.
Right?
You play games with your friends or with your enemies?
Friends.
Suppose you win the game,
and you friends are feeling the way you're feeling. Would you like it?
you friends feel miserable because you won the game.
do you call them your friends?
What is this man ? double standard.
You live in such a double standard, in such hypocrisy.
you want your friends to rejoice in joy in your victory, correct?
so, will it change from today?
Yeah? Will it change from today? Huh?
So, see, that is what is game. A game is a game,
whether you win or lose, irrespective of the result, you are happy.
Correct?
the whole process, the whole playing, the whole game is something that is enjoyable.
Correct?
so now you're going to be happy even if you …. Lose.
because you're celebrating the joy of someone else winning. Right?
we don't have to win all the time.
why do we have to win all the time?
It’s like… it gets boring.
Life will be such boring if we have to win all the arguments.
In our life, you know, come what may, attend to every moment,
enjoy every moment, that is living.
this is art of living. you got it? you got it?
So, what is the lesson you’re taking today?
enjoy the whole process.
the whole process is what is life is all about.
