Have you ever stopped to think who is my true rival? Who is he who is challenging me all the time? We are always moving through life and the road without really pausing and reviewing, with whom do I compete? and we even tend to think that our competition is external, and that the world is a jungle where my victory depends on the defeat of the other.
The concept of the survival of the fittest and strongest has led humanity to an existential vacuum, the business jungle, as it is often called, is nothing more than an "illusion" an "apparent reality" which only exists in people's minds and is based on "scarcity awareness".
Commonly, people believe that we live in a world of limited resources, where we are at the expense of what 5% of humanity, who control 90% of resources "are willing to give us in the form of gratification or reward for some service dice. Even more deep down we have the thought of "super scarcity" emphasized by those who believe that resources are so limited that they must be ripped from those who have them. This type of thinking is based on "Fear", if you are still the most feared criminal, your action is based on fear, since your fear starts from the belief that in order to get what you need you must take it from others, because for me to have others must lose. His rival tells him: "There is not enough for everyone,we must take away what he has and so we will have what we need and more in case someone else wants to take it from us, we can defend ourselves ».
As you can see with the above, our rival is ourselves, it is the version we create of the interpretation we give to what our vision reaches to observe. Our reality is not beyond the interpretation that we want to give to things, if our range of vision is limited in space, we only see a spectrum of colors and we have limited vision capacity from a certain size, what can we call to what we see and interpret of this "reality" ?.
Our share of the victim, mixed with fear, more anxiety, more poorly attended frustrations and a pinch of resentment, have given life to a version of our consciousness that likes to make us believe that what we interpret is reality, and gives rise to a thought ours which we will call "Rival"; Why call it that? Easy, this portion of our consciousness competes with our portion of abundance, which understands that there is an opportunity in the world for everyone and the basic thing is always to find a way to experience events with a passion for life and interpret them with a large amusement park, where we must accept the role I have to play, do it with great commitment and responsibility, without neglecting that if I don't like it I won't complain,but I will always be alert to change with "with a partner" who likes and negotiate with another for me to have a more important role and that I like more, did it sound familiar to you? you ask yourself, where have I seen this model of approach ? Of course, in children.
There is no police more committed to order and justice than Lalito when he is with his friends in the park playing Police and Thieves, there is no more responsible cashier, happy to serve her clients, always wishing them a very good day than Fatima. when he plays at the supermarket. But where did that passion and love for life go ?, because now we run into a Raúl who always asks you for refreshment or a Laura who doesn't even turn to look at your face while reciting a litany that someone He said a corporation told him it was foolproof to have a happy customer. Who could have done this? thus disappear "suddenly" the joy of people, the passion for what they do, appreciating how wonderful life is, because you have done this yourself, my dear friend, or ourselves with our lives,putting the stigma of "a child is irresponsible", so we mix that with "if he thinks as a child he is irresponsible", without forgetting "if he has fun in what you do, he takes things as a game making him irresponsible ».
Obviously there is a big difference between having fun doing what you have to not do and what you have to do to have fun, they are totally different things, and logically one reflects a status of irresponsibility, while the first reflects a state of enjoying your responsibilities, but our programming brain, formed after several years of paradigms, traumas, feelings of defeat and rancor, transforms it into that life is sacrificial and one must always sacrifice "something" to obtain what one has, and famous and very Mexican "that I will ruin myself to ruin my aunt, to forgive my aunt ».
My dear reader, that is precisely the part that needs to be changed in order to progress, the universe is so perfect that it places resources for everyone, as long as there is a rich and a poor, there is prosperity, it is only a matter of looking for it, because if we talked about an environment where only the poor existed, in that case, if we could speak of a place where there are no resources, but having only one person with a rich person, it is because the means exist and this person knew how to take advantage of them, but our rival tells us that the rich person take advantage of the poor, and that the resource is limited because for someone to win there must always be a loser, or worse, as we pointed out before, in extreme cases of fear, it tells us that there is no recourse and if we want to have recourse we must take it away from others.
As we have seen in this blog, your rival is not on the outside, it is that voice that imitates being our inner voice seduces us to adopt the role of victim or suffering in life, in appearance but really only in appearance, it is the most "Comfortable" because it implies "not deciding" as well as "doing nothing", or we become a "Robin Hood" of our interests.
Decisions must always be made, and only you do it, because until doing nothing is a decision, prepare to face your rival, you must always be ready to make decisions consciously, because otherwise life will take care of following the path that you trace unconsciously.
