Ever wondered what is this 'Rat Race'? Well this video provides a good idea. Many of us can relate to this depiction for the answer.
We run in the race because of FOMO (fear of missing out).
How can we escape the Rat Race?
Simple. Don't run in the race, but what does that imply?
We can escape if we focus on our needs rather than wants, because our needs are limited, whereas our wants are infinite.
Our inner being speaks to us, telling us what really appeals to us, suits us and what does not.
Most elements in society tell us how inadequate or incomplete we re because we are lacking this or that. So we pursue what we are told is appealing rather than what is genuinely appealing to us.
If we follow our heart and take the mind with us, we can escape the 'Rat Race'.
The 'Rat Race' can only hold the promise of success. Success however is external to our being so we have to look for it outside. Happiness is inherent within us, it only has to be realised from within our being.
Rich or poor, the 'Rat Race' cannot deliver happiness. More money, power or success does not mean more health and happiness. They just help to buy a better quality of unhappiness. If we examine carefully we will notice that the rich are comfortably unhappy and the poor are uncomfortably unhappy.
Live simply, eat moderately, love intensely, work and play passionately is a good mantra for living outside the 'Rat Race'.
