It is very difficult for a man in Rat Race to rest because he must keep running at all times even when no one is pursuing him.

In Rat Race, we always want to outdo other people making our hearts susceptible to suspicion and unnecessary competition. In Rat Race, your mentality is that of Rat. Your speed is that of Rat. Your World is Rat World. Put a man in Rat Race in a mansion, he will still struggle with men who lives in huts! Give the man in Rat Race The whole world and perhaps the heavens too, he is never satisfied.
In Rat Race, the finishing line is always shifting. We are never satisfied! The more we get the more we want to get and we “lose” out on giving

How to get out Rat Race
- Know your life purpose: Understanding purpose will deliver you from pursuing too many things…That does not satisfy.
- Get rid of Rat mentality: Tell yourself that You are bigger than what you be chasing. This will make you more stable and better composed for your life race. No one can intimidate you and no one can make you feel inferior because you are no longer “a Rat”
- Avoid Comparison: Focus on your own journey rather than other people’s journey. Others challenge you but avoid the temptation of competition that comes from comparison
- Have a higher goal: Have a higher goal beyond acquisition of things. Touch lives. Even if “you have nothing”, you can still walk around knowing that “you are something” by the virtue of lives you have touched.
In Rat Race, we are always on the Run even when we are asleep, we are never at Rest. Make a choice to run the Rat Race or to run your Life Race.
