Why Being Aware is Better Than Being Competitive

 

Many people think that being aware of the situation and the environment is a good thing. They believe that it gives them an edge over others and helps them make better decisions. But is this really true? Or is it just a distorted view of reality that leads to more problems than solutions?

In this blogpost, I will argue that being aware is not a benefit, but a bane. I will show that being competitive and seeking advantage is a flawed strategy that harms both ourselves and others. I will also suggest that the best way to live is to be in the flow of co-creation, sharing the present moment with others in mutual respect and harmony.

The Problem with Being Competitive

Being competitive is a common habit in our modern society. We are taught to strive for success, plan for the future, trust in our sources of information, and hope for the best. We are convinced that we need to win or lose, stay ahead of the competition, and rely on our biases and beliefs.

But this way of living is based on a false premise: that we are separate from each other and from the world. It ignores the fact that everything is interconnected and interdependent, and that every action has consequences. It also overlooks the fact that we are constantly changing and evolving, and that nothing is fixed or permanent.

When we are competitive, we create dissonance and conflict with others. We disregard their needs and feelings, and focus only on our own. We miss out on the opportunities for collaboration and cooperation, and waste our energy on fighting and defending. We also limit our potential and creativity, and settle for less than what we deserve.

The Solution: Being in the Flow

Being in the flow means being aware of the nature of manifest change, and aligning ourselves with it. It means being open to new possibilities and perspectives, and adapting to the changing circumstances. It means being flexible and resilient, and embracing uncertainty and diversity.

Being in the flow also means being in sync with others, and acting in mutual reason. It means being respectful and compassionate, and choosing for the common good. It means being generous and grateful, and sharing our gifts and talents with others.

When we are in the flow, we create resonance and harmony with others. We acknowledge their value and contribution, and support their growth and development. We benefit from their insights and experiences, and enrich our own. We also unleash our potential and creativity, and achieve more than what we imagined.

How to Be in the Flow

Being in the flow is not something that happens by chance or luck. It is something that we can cultivate and practice. Here are some tips on how to do it:

• Be present: Pay attention to what is happening here and now, without judging or resisting it. Be mindful of your thoughts, feelings, sensations, and actions.
• Be curious: Explore your surroundings with wonder and interest. Learn from everything and everyone you encounter. Ask questions and seek answers.
• Be flexible: Accept reality as it is, without trying to control or change it. Adapt to new situations and challenges with ease and grace. Try different things and experiment with new ideas.
• Be respectful: Recognize the dignity and worth of every being. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Listen actively and communicate effectively.
• Be cooperative: Seek common ground and shared goals with others. Work together as a team and leverage each other’s strengths. Celebrate successes and learn from failures.
• Be creative: Express yourself authentically and artistically. Use your imagination and intuition to generate novel solutions. Have fun and enjoy the process.

Conclusion

Being aware is not a benefit, but a bane. It makes us competitive and selfish, which leads to dissonance and conflict with others. Being in the flow is better than being competitive. It makes us cooperative and generous, which leads to resonance and harmony with others.

Being in the flow is not only better for ourselves, but also for others and for the world. It allows us to live well, share joyfully, grow continuously, create abundantly, love unconditionally, serve faithfully, heal holistically, transform positively, evolve consciously, transcend spiritually.

So let us choose to be in the flow today, tomorrow, always.
