Competition

I was well into my professional career when it occurred to me that many artists and friends viewed themselves as competing with me. Whether for gigs, attention, income, promotion, many people sadly saw me as a threat to the abundant life they were created for. You can quote me -

"If you view yourself as in a competition with me, you lack ambition. A three star version of you being you blows away your five star version of you trying to be me. Everyone has such incredible gifts - don't waste another minute of your life trying to be someone other than YOU!" Mark G. Townsend
