Keep your dream alive

quote:It's about knowing, confronting and challenging your ego and what it think's its doing to you.
Our educational system is based on competition and
comparison, and as children we are trained and motivated to
achieve, to climb the ladder, to be better than others, to be better
than ourselves. Our individuality and uniqueness are ignored, and
replaced by a personality whose only concern is to find a way to
rise higher. Our power games become subtle, sophisticated, and
socially disguised. We try to demonstrate ourselves as good, as
superior, through what we do and say, and judge people who
threaten our ego as bad, reducing them into being inferior. When
we judge someone, we often hide it from them, repeating it
silently within ourselves or gossiping about them to others. When
we gossip, it is almost always about power.
On a deeper and much more significant level, we have
internalized this struggle for power. Part of us fights to dominate
another part, and if we observe it closely, we notice that this has
become our whole life. Even our spiritual search, entangled in
comparison, becomes an effort to achieve, to rise higher, to
improve ourselves. The outer effort to dominate is only a reflection
of our inner obsession to become something more than we are.
When power trips are allowed the space to become totally alive
within us, without any judgement or hindrance at all, a deep
alchemical burning happens, releasing the pure energy of true
essential power. The discovery of a wonderful, quiet strength to be
yourself happens on its own. This exploration of power is an
opportunity to bring light and awareness to our power trips
through experiencing them, to recognize our subconscious
collective obsession around power in all depth and detail. This
recognition brings an inner shift of consciousness. Only a deep
experiential understanding of power in our lives can shift our inner
search ... from achieving ... toward discovery.

quote:Look at it this way, in the competiton to be lovely and fluffy and properly liked, you're way, way ahead of crappy, arrogant, snotty people. Those kinda people make you feel worse because not only do you get competitive, but their nature really makes you doubly want to get one over on them. But it really isn't worth it.
but i don't want to be beat by snotty people with bad attitudes
