Hello Friend,

Amongst all the living creatures it's only humans who have the Privilege of Choice.

I heard Shri. Swami Muktananda shares this concept so beautifully.

He says, 'When humans misuse this privilege, it cripples them & retards their growth.

√ Trees will grow as high as they can.

√ Other creatures will grow as much as they can because they don't have a choice.

× The only people who don't grow are the HUMANS because they have a choice.

And by utilizing this privilege they create a 'LOSER'S LIMP'

• What's Loser's Limp?

This term comes from sports.

• When a fielder misses an easy catch or when a basketball player misses an easy layup, they fall to the ground & get up limping.

• The purpose of limping is to 'Camouflage their Failure'

This is what most of us do.

We are responsible for crippling our growth & the speed of our journey because of this Loser's limp.


🙈I remember creating a Loser's limp way back in 8th grade during my state-level 200 meters race.

I was ashamed of losing & just to hide that shame I limped to get a little sympathy & make it a reason for not winning.

But the repercussion was that I never got the right guidance from my trainer because he never knew the real reason for my failure.

Today, I'm not scared of making mistakes but of giving excuses because I know I would never learn the right ways of doing things otherwise.

I know it's difficult but believe me, a life full of excuses is even more difficult.

We can choose to live an enriching life because we have 'The Privilege Of Choice'
