It is a weird fact that the sooner we are born, that is the moment we are set on a journey of competition. Hundreds if not thousands of babies are born at the same time and this is not lost on elderly ones. Some go as far as praying for the new born child in these words:

“May you be above your equal.”

There you have it. Competition is rife especially in places where opportunities are “limited”. As people work hard to get better, they unmistakably aim at the supposed active and passive rival with ideas ranging from fair to the devious.

Competition is used as a template to implement all sorts of strategies against your supposed opponent.

The question many usually ask is how to get ahead of the competition. That question have as many answers as any human subject that have become commonplace over the years. The fact is that competition is here to stay hence the need to answer the question. My simple take is to learn how to compete without competing.

No one sets out without a desire to win. Even if the desire is not clearly expressed, somewhere in the inner circuits of the mind, there is that desire to succeed. The business world is one place where humans play to achieve both career and material goals. This inevitably leads to competition with early entrants or predecessors.
Do you compete or just play by the side? Even the lesser path you choose is not lacking a rival either.

I will like to buttress my earlier antidote using football.

Football, love or hate it, is one of the most competitive and watched sports in the world. France was the overwhelming favourite going into the Euro 2016 final against Portugal. France had a good team coupled with a potent attack. Portugal had a decent team but had an attack almost reliant on the brilliant Cristiano Ronaldo.

The final played out as predicted. France dominated but could not score a goal and Portugal had their major attempt at scoring during the extra time. Tragedy struck when Ronaldo was forced off the field with an injury and in came Ederson who was miles away from the kind of threat posed by Ronaldo. He scored the winning goal few minutes before the end of extra time. Portugal held on to their advantage due to the strength and good organization of their defence. They eventually won the Euros.

Portugal had one way to compete and that was playing to the strength of their defence while finding a way to help the attack which was their weakest link.

To compete without being in 'obvious' competition is to hold your strength above your weakness. Putting your area of strength into perspective is the best way to get over your fear of losing out.

On social relations, this is quite tricky as our sense of self is safer when we realize that no two persons live the same kind of life. Contentment is what should be your focus.

If you are unsatisfied with where you are now, then you have to think of how to get ahead. Rather than focus on that in your neighbour’s hand, it is more pleasing if you can enlist their help in doing that which is necessary to get what you want.

Celebrating your wins and being thankful for what you have is a springboard to growing in strength and abundance.
