WHY THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS COMPETITION
by Cara Lumen

 
   
 

The word "competition" is used to express a rivalry. The dictionary indicates it is "the struggle among individual organisms for food, water, space, etc. when the available supply is limited."

That's exactly why there is no such thing as competition.

There is no such thing as scarcity.

The universe is a shape-shifting flow of energy that contains infinite possibilities that come into being according to how and what we thing.

If you believe in a universal source, that you must believe that it is infinite, all encompassing, and never-ending. The Universal Source contains everything we could possible want or need. It is available to each and every one of us for the taking.

All that stands between ourselves and opulent abundance is what we believe we deserve and what we believe is possible, for they are the determining factors in our life experience.

If there is no scarcity, there is no competition. And there is no scarcity because there is an unlimited supply for each of us.

Each of us has a unique offering

Only you have the specific combination of passion, skills, communication patterns and talents that make up your business offering. You and I may both be offering widgets, but they will be different in style, in tone and in the heart message behind them. And that is what will make the difference in who will come to us to buy them. There are billions of people in the world and out of them a great many will be interested in your services or your products. There is a reason you have been called to offer the services that you give. They are needed and wanted by others in the world.

Your energy is the call

The Universe works on the Law of Attraction so the way you attract more clients/students/customers is to nurture your own vibration and make it reflect the same energy you want to draw to you in others. Even when you and I are both making widgets, people will find the energy they are most attracted to regardless of where it is and how it is put forth.

There is no scarcity of people for your business, you just need to let them know how great what you have to offer is and let them know what it can do for them.

We will each attract different customers and NEVER will a customer find they are debating between which person to patronize.

When I lived in New York City I had several people find me by using their intuition to tune in to the list of coaches in the phone book. Your energy truly is the call.

There are few if no original ideas

Everything is an adaptation of something else. We each interpret them through our personal uniqueness. No one can take your idea and you cannot take someone else's because they don't belong to you in the first place. They are universal ideas that are available to everyone. You filter them through your uniqueness and make them your own offering.

Is this idea for you?

When an idea comes to you it is wrapped in the way to do it. You will never receive an idea that you lack the ability to act upon. Whether you choose to act or not is totally up to you. If you don't act on it, another person may pick it up out of the joint energy field. Make that ok. It may not have been the right time for you to take that particular step.

When I was getting my Master's Degree in Theater, I was scheduled to be the stage manager for a particular production. For various reasons (including being the mother of four children as well as being in college) I asked to be excused from that assignment. Years later in New York City I ran across the young man who had been moved up from Assistant Stage Manger to Stage Manger on that production. He said he learned so much that he made stage-managing his profession and he was at that time the Stage manager for the Broadway production of La Cage Au Follies! (SP) It hadn't been my time or my calling, it was his and the universe supported him by having me step out of the way.

Ideas come from other people, from phrases you hear, or a different version comes to mind when you hear part of someone else's idea. And it becomes uniquely your own.

I thought that I was starting a newsletter for solopreneurs, to be filled with practical business tips, but I'm a metaphysical philosopher and I keep looking at the energy behind whatever happens. So my High Intention Coaching part of my two-pronged web page and my free Answering Your Call e-magazine will have some practical business and marketing tips but I'm already writing articles and content that address the larger picture, the field of consciousness where major change can occur. So even when I though I was going in a certain direction, my heart's passion and calling turned it into an expression of my calling. And I know others will hear it even though it may not be what they originally expected. I can't separate out my philosophy from its practical application. They are one and the same.

We are one

Just as I can't compartmentalize myself into focused segments, neither can any of us hold ourselves apart from the whole. We ARE that whole. There is only one universal energy which means there is only one of "us." We may look different, and speak in a different language, or act in a variety of manners, but we are all the same energy. We are simply unique expressions of this one energy. And each has equal value.

There can be no competition when there is only one of us.

Believe it is so

Faith and intention are the cornerstones to building your life experience. Believe that you will attract the perfect clients in the perfect number and perfect time and you do. It's that simple.

There is no such thing as competition. For there is no shortage in the Universal Source.
