One of the fascinating truths about life is that competition exists in everything we do.
If we’re running a business, we have to deal with competitors.
If we’re attempting to find a job, we have to compete with other applicants.
And, of course, dating is a competitive sport too.
So, competition is an ever present – in all the areas that tend to count anyway.
And, yet, the other side of this truth is that we are significantly better off when we ignore its existence.
The intent here isn’t to deny reality. Instead, it is to view it with a different frame – a frame which focuses on the fact that most games are not zero sum games.
And, choosing to focus on the abundance makes us happier people and, often (perhaps surprisingly), better competitors.
