Guru dev I have a question, I’m a high school student and one subject is giving me problems. In this subject, I sit next to two people, both of them have concversations and are very smart and I feel like I can’t catch up. The subject is very hard for me and I am struggling. I would like your advice for how to cope, because I feel as if I were not in the class of those two people I would have been performing better, but when I see that they are smarter I become lazy and give up. Please guru dev help me get rid of this stress
Dear Seeker, May the light of wisdom guide you through this challenging journey. It is natural to encounter difficulties in your studies, but remember that every obstacle is an opportunity for growth. Your situation is a valuable lesson in itself. Instead of comparing yourself to others, focus on your own progress and learning. First, cultivate mindfulness. Observe your thoughts without judgment and let go of any negative self-talk. Embrace self-compassion and understand that everyone has their own unique pace of learning. Second, approach your studies with a beginner's mind. Each day is a chance to start anew. Break down the subject into smaller, manageable sections and tackle them one by one. Seek understanding rather than just trying to keep up with others. Third, turn challenges into motivation. Let the success of others inspire you rather than discourage you. Remember, they were once beginners too. Channel your feelings of inadequacy into determination and perseverance. Lastly, seek help when needed. Don't hesitate to approach your teacher or classmates for assistance. Their guidance can illuminate your path and alleviate your struggles. You possess the strength within to overcome this stress and excel in your studies. Let go of comparisons and embrace your own potential. May your journey be filled with resilience, growth, and inner peace. With metta, THE POWER OF ZEN STORY
