Hi Seeker 5,

Ask yourself why do you want to beat someone? Is it to prove yourself better than them? To prove to yourself that you are 'worthy'? To better yourself?

Here's a change in perspective that helped me.

The Latin root for the verb "to compete" is "competere", which means "to seek together" or "to strive together".

You could view competition as a means of bringing out the best in others AND yourself, as breaking through performance limits for all concerned. There's nothing inherently selfish or darkworker about competing - it's the motivation behind it. If your motivation is for the sake of win at all costs or to prove yourself better than others, then you'd be hard pressed to do it as a lightworker. But if it's as described above-to better others and yourself, to push human limits etc then that's VERY lightworker biased. In fact many of the top athletes achieve the levels they do because they were competing for their country of for the very pursuit of athletic excellence and the demonstration to all of the wonders of human potential. If you compete with these motives then restraining your potential would actually be counterintuitive to a lightworker.

Hope this helped
