You are not in competition with others unless you put yourself there. However, if you do, be warned that competing can be a huge pitfall that takes your eyes off your true purpose and potential. It stands in direct conflict with succeeding at being all of the amazing woman you already are.
When you take the competition approach, you actually step outside of your true potential. You place your abilities in competition with someone else who is unique in their own way. You might even find yourself chasing their potential rather than your own. How do you expect to truly succeed while pursuing someone else’s dream?
It’s almost like saying, “I’m not good enough” or “I have something to prove” while all the while you have incredible potential as the amazing woman you already are. Who do you need to prove this to? Is it to others or is it really to prove your own value to yourself?
Competition really has no place in the woman who has decided to succeed at inviting her true potential forward. Her motivation is no longer competing with others. Instead, it is rising up to the standard of the unique greatness which is already inside of her.
On a personal level, this means recognizing that all of the positive desires of your heart, all those dreams you’ve secretly wished for, are in the realm of possibility for you to invite forward. It means taking a leap of faith and accepting you already have what it takes to get what you really want.
Your greatest desire is actually tied to your true potential. Those desires are in your heart because somewhere within you is the ability to create what you’ve always wanted to accomplish. You may have taken some of those gifts you have as being pointless, but they are given to you for a reason.
In relation to others, succeeding at being yourself is a far higher road to travel on. All of us have probably commented on how hard it can be when working with other women. Can you imagine what it would be like if we let go of the competition and invited each other’s true potential to come forward instead?
Today is the best time to begin. I invite you to open up to possibility and pursue your own unique potential. You may be amazed to discover how your passion and purpose are fanned into flame as you allow yourself to do the things you’ve always loved to do. Imagine how empowering it could be to trust you have the ability to decide the best path of success for you.
Who cares about how you measure up to anyone else? You have an incredible life waiting for you that reflects the true desires and purpose in your heart. Go for it!
