Supporting Each Other - The New Paradigm The world that most of experienced as we were growing up was one of competition—competing for attention, competing for grades, competing in sports, competing for boyfriends/girlfriends, competing for high school/college recognition. And for many of us that continued into our professional lives—competing for jobs, clients, bosses’ acknowledgement and money. And while it is often so that men are more to likely have taken on competition as a way of life, many women are still caught in that old paradigm despite our true innate desire to be collaborative instead of competitive. Competition is driven by the beliefs that there is not enough to go around and that someone must lose so that another can win.
The desire and intention to see others rise WITH us is the essence of Oneness and Universal mindset. It is the New Paradigm. Competition—the old way--is about self, about greed, about fear. Collaboration/mutual support—the new way--is about selflessness, about love and about faith in an abundance that can be created for all. It doesn’t ask us to give up our starpower so that others can be equally undistinguished. The New Paradigm asks us to strive to fuel the starpower in ourselves—AND others--regardless of whether we share the same pool of prospects, clients, jobs, money or love. In supporting others instead of competing against them, we call in an energy of loving grace. The blessings accrue to both parties. The energetic wave of positive karma, bliss and compassion forges bonds and creates greater strength, greater success for both parties. It creates trust and a desire to reciprocate. But wait now…you don’t think you’re competitive? See if you can see yourself in any of these scenarios:
These are telltales signs that your default is sent on competition instead of collaboration/mutual support. If you’re not cheering for the other guy and all his/her successes, you’re the one who will lose. If you’re not looking to see how you can support your fellow workers or colleagues, than you won’t know the joy of gratitude, generosity, friendship, respect or admiration. Nor will you receive the support you need willingly from others when you are in need. Here are some ways you can begin to shift your default mode to collaboration/mutual support:
There is great truth that rising water floats all boats, so be the watershed that brings about the abundant tide.

This desire to excel at the expense of another, to simply outshine the field, or to make sure we get what we want regardless of others is the epitome of Separation…separation from the oneness, from ourselves, from all other beings, from our Source.
