Does Competition Help You Succeed?

Competition is something that's promoted in a positive light. According to economics professors, competition is what makes businesses thrive. Not only that, but it also allows athletes to perform better as well.

However, is it really healthy to be in a competitive state of mind? When you examine competition closely, you may find that it holds people back and becomes their entire life.

Starting from when you're a baby, you're taught to be competitive. For instance, when you needed a new diaper or milk from your baby bottle, you had to get the attention of your mother by competing for it. As you got older, you had to compete with more people than just your mother. If you had siblings, you needed to compete with them to get favors from your parents. In school, you had to compete with your classmates to get recognition from your teachers or coaches. Then, toward your high school years, you may have competed to win the affections of a girl that you liked.

What was the reward of all this? Well, if you played sports, then you may have competed to win a ribbon or trophy. If it was over a girl, then you may have wanted to ask her out or take her to the prom. Competition is usually about seeking some kind of reward in the end.

In adulthood, the rewards are even greater, but the competition is much harder. Instead of winning a trophy, you may be out to win a new job or a huge business deal. If you see someone else who's already received these rewards, you may be jealous as you compete against them. Jealousy is one of the biggest things that makes competing so difficult. If you end up failing to get the reward you wanted, then you may feel hatred toward the person who got it instead of you. This can be a terrible feeling to have to deal with.

Have you ever been jealous of someone who achieved a reward that you wanted but didn't get? If so, did it make you feel awful inside? If you answered "yes", do you want to find a way to stop feeling this way?

The answer to overcoming jealousy is simple. All you need to do is stop worrying about competition and competing against others.

That's not to say that you can't be motivated to achieve your goals. For instance, if you're trying to impress a girl that you want to ask out on a date, don't get jealous if she chooses someone else or already has a boyfriend. You don't need to hate her boyfriend either because he has the girl that you wanted. Instead, just think about the talents which you possess that he doesn't have. Surely, there must be another girl out there who can appreciate you for those talents. You just need to keep testing the waters without losing patience or getting discouraged. There are plenty of opportunities out there if you simply seize them.

Try to lower your expectations just a little. You don't need to be jealous of an athlete because they won an Olympic gold medal and you didn't. Why should you have gotten the medal anyway? Did you train and compete as hard as they did? Chances are, you're just somebody who has regret about the things they didn't do in their life. But that doesn't mean you can't be happy for others who went out there and gave it their best and achieved success.

When you start feeling competitive again, here's what you can do:

• Become inspired by successful people and learn how they achieved so much. Then, apply their strategy for success to your own life.

• You need to be around people who are happy and positive. Stay away from negative people.

Every day you're on this Earth is really a gift. Don't waste time letting your inflated ego keep you down or make you feel bad. Direct your energy toward your own unique talents and how you can use them to make your own life better.

Here's a little bonus tip for you:

Whenever you find yourself comparing yourself to others (in that you desire to be like or better than them; or, you desire what they have, better than they have, or more than they have), you're slipping into the realm of competitive thought, whether you realize it or not.

The answer?

Well, Wallace D. Wattles put it very well in Chapter 14 of his book The Science of Getting Rich ("The Impression of Increase") when he wrote:

"No better statement of the principle of creative action can be formulated than the favorite declaration of the late 'Golden Rule' Jones of Toledo: 'What I want for myself, I want for everybody.'"

In other words, as he put it in "Ideals and How to Form Them", the fifteenth of fifteen articles in his Lessons in Constructive Science series:

"Desire for yourself all that you need for the purpose of living a full and complete life and desire that everybody else shall have all that is necessary to the living of an equally full and complete life."

Then:

"Live your own life and let other people live their own lives."

It's that simple!

By the way, while we're on the subject, nowhere in his writings did Mr. Wattles address the subject of competition better than he did in a series of three articles he wrote under the tile The Law of Opulence. Click or tap the links below to get your copy today.

How Do You Lick the Fear of Poverty?

In a survey I conducted, a reader wrote:

"Dear Tony

I have bought some of Wallace D. Wattles' books and studied them, but I need a foolproof method to stop my fear of poverty. I am always provided for, but, somehow, I always 'create' a way that the going out is more than the coming in, it just gets 'used' up. I would like to go on a holiday and travel some. I've never been on a holiday before because of this subconscious program that I can't 'lick' once and for all.

Thanks for your reply."

Your so-called "fear of poverty" is nothing more than a vision you hold of yourself as being poor. The reason you somehow "always 'create' a way that the going out is more than the coming in" is because, as part of that vision, that's the way you see yourself and, thus, you act in accordance with that "reality" that you've mentally created for yourself.

How do you 'lick' that once and for all?

Simple. Not necessarily easy, but simple nonetheless. You create a new vision for yourself that's the exact opposite of the one you have now, and you make that the dominant vision you hold of yourself. Then, just as night follows day, as that new vision takes hold, you'll begin acting in accordance with your new mental "reality", and your situation will change... dramatically!

For detailed, proven, step-by-step instructions on how to do that, I highly recommend you read my Wallace D. Wattles Quick Start Guide and my Wallace D. Wattles Advanced Vision Guide, in that order, and do, I repeat do, exactly what they tell you to do (in your particular case, I suggest you read them both first and then go back through them and take action on them, my reasoning here will become readily apparent to you after you do so).

How to Have Gratitude for the Challenges You Face

Every day, there are challenges in our lives that we must deal with. If you're like most people, you probably look down upon these challenges and just wish everything could be easy. But the truth is that challenges actually provide you with some amazing benefits. Once you come to realize this, you'll learn to be grateful for having these challenges come into your life.

Think about something in life that's challenging, but beneficial. Exercise is a great example of this. People who are overweight or out of shape tend to frown upon exercise because it makes them feel sweaty and uncomfortable. However, what they aren't thinking about is how great they'll feel after the exercise is over. Exercise can help you be stronger, faster, confident, feel better, look better, and be healthier. With all these benefits, is it really that difficult to exercise for 20 to 40 minutes per day?

You see, it's all a matter of putting your challenges into perspective and realizing the positive outcome of facing them. Don't just think about the challenge itself and how bad and uncomfortable it'll make you feel. Every challenge in life will be difficult when you face it. That's why it is called a challenge. If it were an easy thing to face, then what would be challenging about it?

When you face a challenge, try to see it as a way of testing your true potential. This could be a test of your endurance, strength, speed, wit, and/or stamina. More importantly, see your challenges as opportunities for bringing change and excitement to your life. People like to stay in their comfort zones because there are no challenges there. But if you don't face challenges, how will you ever grow as a person and find happiness and success in your life? Anyone who's ever been successful has had to face challenges head-on. You need to learn to do the same by having the right attitude about it.

Questions to Ask Yourself

When you're faced with a challenge, ask the following questions to yourself:

     • What can I learn about myself from this challenge?

     • Which areas of myself can be developed more from this challenge?

     • Which abilities and skills do I possess that can assist me with this challenge?

     • What are the benefits to be earned from doing this challenge?

Finally, you must be grateful to have these challenges and opportunities in your life. There are some people in this world who don't even have opportunities to better themselves like this. Whether your challenge is to climb a mountain, earn a master's degree, or run a marathon, always be grateful! Sure, you might feel intimidated by the challenge in the beginning, but never stop trying. As you face the challenge and invest your time and energy in it, things will get much better for you very quickly.

Look at every challenge as an opportunity to grow and better yourself. The more you practice this, the more you'll feel enthusiastic about challenges as they come into your life. Then you'll be so grateful and hungry for more challenges that you'll start looking for them yourself instead of waiting for them to find you. This is the perfect place to be in your life once you get there.

Here's a thought for you to ponder today. It comes from Chapter 7 of Wallace D. Wattles' classic masterpiece The Science of Getting Rich ("Gratitude"):

"... because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude."

Think about it!

The Best Time to Give Thanks Is Year-Round!

Find a Job That You Love and Then It Won't Be Work Anymore!

Certain philosophical people believe that working a job shouldn't be all about the money. Of course, most people would disagree because they need to work to pay their living expenses. In fact, a lot of people in this world must work over 40 hours a week just to barely survive. If you work long hours each week, whether it's for money or not, at least make sure you love what you're doing.

When you enjoy your work, you don't feel bored or tired. Instead, you feel energized and excited to keep working. There may be days when you feel too lazy to work but most of the time, you'll want to work. The idea of getting out of bed in the morning will not seem so painful anymore. You'll no longer feel tempted to play Fantasy Football or browse on Facebook. When you get to this point, you'll know that you found the right job for yourself.

The big question is, how do you find something that you're interested in and make a job out of it? Below are some ideas to help you get started:

1. What do you do well?

Can you think of something that you're good at? Something you do better than most people? Perhaps you're great at socializing with random people. If so, consider being a salesperson. Maybe you like cooking exotic foods and trying out new recipes. In this case, become a chef or food blogger.

2. What do you dislike about the job you're at now?

It's possible to love your profession but hate your job. For instance, if you have a nasty boss who's unfair and hovers over you all day, then it might cause you to dislike your job a lot. However, that doesn't mean you hate the work that you do. So, think about starting your own business while doing this same kind of work in it. That way, you can be your own boss and set your own rules.

3. Try new things.

It's okay to think and contemplate your future, but don't spend all your time doing that. Expand your horizons by taking up new hobbies or pursuing new things that you never thought you liked before. You might develop a hobby that'll turn into a business. If there's a course at your college that looks interesting, go ahead and apply for it even if it doesn't feel like "you". You may just surprise yourself.

4. Gather knowledge.

If you're interested in developing a new hobby, you need to learn everything you can about that hobby. Don't just aimlessly pursue it without knowing what you're doing. For instance, don't become a trader on the stock market simply because you're hoping to score some big trades and make a lot of money. You actually need to know about things like historical data, market trends, and company research. This will allow you to know which stocks are safe and which stocks are risky.

In conclusion, be prepared to work hard at whatever job you do. The idea is to simply enjoy yourself as you're working hard because that will make the experience more pleasant. In fact, if you really enjoy what you're doing, your "work" won't seem like work anymore, it'll be just another form of play to you.

Here's a great quote for you to ponder today. It comes from Wallace D. Wattles' Wealth Science Course. In it, Mr. Wattles wrote:

"Perhaps the most essential part of wealth-culture consists in finding the place where you will be happy in your work."

Think about it!

Wallace D. Wattles on Faith

Of all that Wallace D. Wattles wrote, there are a few passages that I tend to quote more than all the others combined.

I shared one of them with you in a prior post (Wallace D. Wattles on the Creative Power Within Us).

Here's another one of them...

It comes from Chapter 15 of his book The Science of Being Great:

"Have perfect faith in yourself and in your ability to cope with any combination of circumstances that may arise. Do not be disturbed if you are alone; if you need friends they will come to you at the right time. Do not be disturbed if you feel that you are ignorant; the information that you need will be furnished you when it is time for you to have it. That which is in you impelling you forward is in the things and people you need, impelling them toward you. If there is a particular man you need to know, he will be introduced to you; if there is a particular book you need to read it will be placed in your hands at the right time. All the knowledge you need will come to you from both external and internal sources. Your information and your talents will always be equal to the requirements of the occasion. Remember that Jesus told his disciples not to worry as to what they would say when brought before the judges; he knew that the power in them would be sufficient for the needs of the hour."

That very same power is in you!

Notice, if you will, when Jesus sent his disciples out to bring his gospel to the world, he did not provide them with a detailed plan.

As a matter of fact, he didn't provide them with a plan at all!

What did he do?

Jesus simply said...

"Go forth".

That's it...

Go forth!

He knew full well that everything his disciples needed to accomplish their mission would come to them as they needed it...

As it will for you too!

How Do You Stay Motivated?

In a survey I conducted, a reader wrote:

"Dear Tony,

In this time of economic change and spiritual challenge, how's it possible to still plan to earn money for financial independence and in the meantime keep as a priority (motivation) the personal development to the heights required?

I always have conflicts with that, especially if you believe in the <latest end-of-the-world theory deleted>.

This is my question and my pressing problem.

Thank you!"

Well, if you believe the world's going to end soon or some huge cataclysmic event is about to happen that's going to end civilization as we know it, it's real difficult to stay motivated to do much of anything, isn't it?

So, if financial independence, or anything else for that matter, is what you want, my first piece of advice to you is to stop believing that crap. Really! How? Simple. Belief is a choice. You can choose to believe or not believe anything you want. Nothing more to it than that.

Next, I suggest you get your viewpoint about the world and your place in it straight. There's no better way to do that than by reading The Science of Being Great by Wallace D. Wattles and doing exactly what it tells you to do. Click or tap the links below to get your copy today.

How to Make Relationships Better with TLC

We all wish to have a perfect relationship with someone that involves no conflict at all. Unfortunately, this is a rare thing to have happen. All types of relationships are bound to have arguments and disagreements of some kind. They might not happen too often, but they will happen.

For instance, you might not agree with something that someone said to you, such as a teacher, child, spouse, minister, salesperson, parent, and so on. Everyone has their own opinions about everyone and everything. In many cases, you'll find that people don't share your opinion on a variety of things.

When you find yourself in one of these situations, you need to use tender loving care (TLC). You may have heard about TLC before, but never used it. Some might say that TLC should be TLCU, which means tender loving care & understanding.

If you want to improve any relationship that you have with someone, you first need to understand what caused the problem between you two in the first place. If you can find out what happened to cause this conflict, it'll be easier for you to use TLC to remedy it.

There was a classic film which had the line "love means never having to say you're sorry". In other words, if you truly love a person and respect them, then it should be impossible for you to hurt them. If you have to say you're sorry, then you must not love them.

Of course, this is just a saying. You can't expect to find someone who's totally perfect all the time and will never hurt you. If a problem arises, just think objectively about the issue and see it from the other person's perspective. Do you think they feel the same way about you as you do about them in this situation? Thinking about it from their perspective will help you think differently about the situation. Then you can possibly change your perception of it.

Improving a relationship doesn't mean forcing the other person to admit that you're right and they're wrong. If you truly care about this other person, you must show them some respect. Most importantly, have empathy for their situation. If you do, they'll have empathy for yours too.

But don't just use words to show them how much you understand their feelings. This won't improve the relationship in the way that you want. If you can take action or physically do something for them, then this would be better. For instance, if the conflict arose over a material object, perhaps you can do something with this object to make the other person happy (e.g. fix it, replace it).

Communication is very important. When the person tells you how they feel, you need to listen and understand every word. Open communication like this is positive for repairing the relationship you two have. You don't need to be mean or harsh either. The other person may very well be in the wrong here. However, you don't need to throw that in their face and make them feel bad about it. Just keep the communication positive without any blaming or name calling. If there's a disagreement about something, let the person state their case respectfully. This is how you show value for a relationship.

If the person can see that you appreciate and forgive them, it'll make them happy. It takes a big person with a kind heart to forgive someone else that's done them wrong. After all, doesn't a loving relationship mean more than superficial issues? If you can compromise fairly, you can forgive. This might take some practice, but it's truly worth it.

It can feel natural to want to blame someone else when a conflict arises. But first, take a good look at yourself. Are you responsible at all for it? Maybe a little bit? If you accept some responsibility and be realistic about the situation, you can improve almost any relationship that's having problems. Sometimes you may even need to take more responsibility than the other person. But if you can master TLCU, then TLC will seem simple to give.

Want better relationships in your life?

Although he never wrote The Science of Winning Love, Wallace D. Wattles did write extensively on the subject, mostly as it related to marriage, but much of what he wrote can be applied to any relationship, marital or otherwise.

Here's a list of what he wrote on the subject in the approximate order in which they were published:

1. Scientific Marriage

Self-published in 1904, this may well be the first book Wallace D. Wattles ever wrote.

2. God: The Servant of Man

Although only the third article in this three-part series of articles by Wallace D. Wattles is directly related to love and marriage, it's necessary to read the first two in order to fully understand the third.

3. "Marital Unhappiness: A New Remedy"

This article contains Wallace D. Wattles' simple, step-by-step remedy for marital unhappiness.

4. "Courtship by Absent Treatment"

A most interesting article by a most interesting man. Wallace D. Wattles again touches on the subject of absent treatment in his serial story As a Grain of Mustard Seed (see below).

5. "A Second Courtship"

This article by Wallace D. Wattles is essentially a fictional case study of the practical application of the instructions contained in his "Marital Unhappiness: A New Remedy" article (see above).

6. "What the World Owes Us"

Interestingly enough, one of the subtitles of this article by Wallace D. Wattles, the fourteenth of fifteen articles in his Lessons in Constructive Science series, is "The Science of Winning Love".

7. As a Grain of Mustard Seed

This serial story by Wallace D. Wattles can best be described as a fictional case study of the practical application of his philosophy. Although its lessons aren't exclusive to love and marriage, it contains enough on these subjects to warrant inclusion in this list.

8. "Marital Happiness"

This in-depth lesson by Wallace D. Wattles, the eighth of ten lessons in his book The Personal Power Course, ties all the essentials of the science of winning love together into one nice, neat and tidy, package.

How Do You Get the Most Out of Wallace D. Wattles' Writings?

In a survey I conducted, a reader wrote:

"Dear Tony,

Please, I really need you to tell me how I can get the most out of my study of Wallace D. Wattles' writings. What should I do while studying in order to remember at least 90% of what I have studied.

Thank you in advance!"

You're welcome in advance.

If you really want to get the most out of your study of Wallace D. Wattles' writings, rather than concern yourself with how much you remember of them, I suggest you focus on applying what you learn from them.

Let me say that again:

If you really want to get the most out of your study of Wallace D. Wattles' writings, rather than concern yourself with how much you remember of them, I suggest you focus on applying what you learn from them.

Here's the deal:

When all is said and done, it'll be what you did with what you learned and not how much you remembered from what you studied that'll have made the difference in your life.

The absolute easiest and fastest way I know of to apply Mr. Wattles' writings, in an orderly fashion, is to follow the plan of action he laid out in the ten lessons of his four Power Correspondence School courses - his Health Science Course, his Wealth Science Course, his Talent Development Course, and his Marital Happiness Course.

They've long been my blueprint for systematically applying Mr. Wattles' writings to my life.

If I have anything that even approximates a "secret weapon", it would be those ten lessons.

I highly recommend you read, study, and, most importantly, apply them!

To help you do that in a big way, a really big way, I've prepared special enhanced versions of them in which I take you by the hand and walk you step-by-step through each of them, commenting on what Mr. Wattles wrote, explaining them in minute detail using real-world examples, and giving you specific, detailed, proven, step-by-step instructions and action steps for applying what Mr. Wattles wrote to create health, wealth, talent development, and marital happiness in your life.

An Abundant Mindset

Does your entire life seem completely satisfying and abundant? Most people would say their lives are great in certain areas but lacking greatness in others. What if you could alter your mindset so that you can notice more of the abundance in your environment and attract additional abundance that you've never had before?

Before we get into that, you should understand what makes an abundant mindset different than a mindset that lacks abundance.

Some people have a mindset where they're negative and always think there's never enough of anything. For instance, they might argue with their partner about not having enough money to pay the bills. Either that or they might just lack the excitement or drive to do anything fulfilling with their life because they're afraid to think outside of their comfort zone. Anytime a person limits themselves in their thoughts or ambitions, they have a less abundant mindset. They'll always focus on the difficulties and problems of a situation rather than the joys that can come out of it.

On the other hand, a person with an abundant mindset will see opportunities and fulfillment that are available for everyone to enjoy. They don't worry about clinging onto every little opportunity before it gets away. Instead, they feel like opportunities are everywhere and easily accessible all the time. Most importantly, people like this will see the joy in everything and appreciate the positivity in each moment they experience.

Unfortunately, a lot of people in this world have a mindset that lacks abundance. They focus so much on the negativity around them without noticing the positivity that's out there.

The big question is, can someone with a mindset that lacks abundance turn that around to a mindset filled with thoughts of abundance? Yes, it's possible. However, you'll need to focus on each moment in the present and develop an abundant attitude for it. If you start having those negative thoughts come back into your head during these moments, just ignore those thoughts. Then, replace those thoughts with newer thoughts that promote positivity and abundance.

Below are 3 steps to getting started with this mindset change:

1. Notice the abundance that surrounds you.

Think about everything around you and where it came from. For instance, when you visit a grocery store, you're surrounded by shelves filled with different food products. Most of these products are comprised of several ingredients that different people put together to make them. Use this concept as an analogy for all your surroundings. Think about how houses have been constructed from the wood of trees. Think about how cars are basically a bunch of small metal-based components that are put together. If you start thinking about how the little things in your life amount to so much more, you'll notice the abundance around you more than ever.

2. Realize that you have plenty already.

Someone who lacks an abundant mindset is always thinking they don't have enough. Meanwhile, a person with an abundant mindset will constantly think about everything they do have. They'll tell themselves that they have plenty of things in their life, and they won't dwell over the things they don't have. These are the kinds of people who say "I'm satisfied with my life," "I'm blessed with what I have," or "I have more than enough money."

3. Be a giver.

People who think they never have enough will want to keep a close eye on what they do have. This means they'll never share with anyone and will likely become greedy. But if you can learn to share the things you do have, like your money or possessions, then it'll have a positive impact on your mindset. Soon you'll start realizing that you really do have a lot of things because so many other people need what you have. As your abundant mindset increases from sharing with others, you'll attract more love and wealth without even realizing it.
