I liked the article, but that is no surprise as I really do feel I am on the "same page" as Steve and Erin.

I like to go about my business creatively not competively. For me competition is like swimming up stream. Yeah, you can get far, but PHEW!! A lot of extra work!! I am not against "work" I just prefer Inspired Action to acting out of fear of losing. I like swimming downstream.

Am I "successful?" I have made a lot out of my life, owning my own home, owning two businesses, and in a happy marriage. So, I do not feel competitive action is the only way to get ahead ~ infact I deeply hope more people take on creative, Inspired action as that brings up many people not just one. But, like Steve mentioned in his blog, it's not about "winning"... it's about the journey. I can honestly say I am LOVING this journey!! When I finally realized I was on a journey, and not in a competition, my entire life changed instantly for the better.
