There is no Competition

Competition…There is none… I don’t live in the space thinking I am competing with other entertainers.. I am always only competing with myself. 

If you are worried about other people’s advancements then you have given yourself barriers. 

I have insecurities like how I look in a shirt and my hair line creeping back on the daily… but I don’t have positional insecurities… I know where I came from, I know where I am now and I know where I want to go… Personally I don’t have an End Game… It’s just one mission after the next… 

My growth is solely based off vision…

Most people tend to sell themselves short. Lack vision, lack depth…. when you have this kind of mindset you have to worry about everyone around you. You have to be concerned if they are catching up. If they are taking your jobs, if they will be taking your followers… 

In reality there is no competition between you and another person… just yourself….

I hope everyone has success, but i know that’s a naive idea… People fall victim of their own vanity… 

They are always looking over their shoulder wondering who’s catching them. I refuse to live like that. I rather keep my head down and plow my way to success… 

You have to evolve, grow, learn and be malleable… The ability to change shape…

Not conform but improve….

There is only ONE you… No one has had your life, your experiences…. 

So there is no competition…. The person who makes it has beat self doubt… 

I believe you will find more success in helping others find their success… 

If I support a friend and help him get into acting because inadvertently my path led me to an incredible acting opportunity, then he takes that help and becomes the most successful actor in our time… then I have done my part for the universe, then I am sure he will show the same gratitude for when an opportunity opens for someone else…Live to serve others close to you, build them up without any expectations. 

Steve Howie: “I can only open the door…. It’s up to you to close that door…”

Learn to be in a place of confidence, and self awareness… Know who you are and what you are capable of… That’s all that should matter… you are the reason for your success and failures…

For others who view you as competition, watch with egoless support, if you have a tool that can help them, offer the hand. If they refuse to take it, they have made the choice out of pride… They lack humility and this will be their biggest downfall. 

Your success will grow when your mindset changes… No one is taking the food out of your mouth. You are taking it out of your own. Stop using your insecurities to enable your boundaries. You can be free of that stress by accepting you are in the position you are in, Good or Bad solely based on your vision and the boundaries you set for yourself.

The Universe rewards hustle…
