Bruce, you bring up a really good point, that I am actually trying to mesh two different tool models together. One model being the lightworker-darkworker model, and the other model being the Strength Finders model of working from your strengths.
One model - lightworker seems suggest that you do not see life as competition, while the other model, strength finders says that you work from your top strengths, and competition is one of my top talents.

That's a great point. Hmmmm. When I get competitive, I do it for the love of the competition. I don't want to hurt the other, I don't want the other to be badly off, I do it for the thrill and love of the challenge, and doing something that drives me. I don't do it out of fear - fear that the other person will take something from me. Actually, competition for fear leads me to be completely de-motivated and blocked. Hmmmm. But competition for fun, for thrill, oh yeah
Concerning some of the other comments on here, not sure if you've read some of my follow up posts, but basically, I'm not seeking to feel good or justify anything. I am comfortable being competitive. What I'm curious is maximum effectiveness as a lightworker.
