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.
