show up for your dream like you do for someone else’s

i was sitting in my car at the local PCC community market when i started to look around the plaza i was in. there were a few major stores, and a trader joes right next door. and it made me realize a couple of things.
1. value is value and it is abundant. the reason why a trader joes and a PCC market can be next-door neighbors (when they sell almost all the same things) is that they understand the value in what they do. people will always lean towards one or the other but that will not make one lose. they live in the world of abundance, the world of you win and i win and everyone else wins.
2. if you aren’t building your own dream, you are building someone else’s.
the trap life creates a zero-sum game.
when i speak of the trap life i am talking about the lack matrix. the world based on fear. any action, belief, or thought that traps you.
a zero-sum game is when one person wins at the expense of another. so if you are selling drugs, someone is losing at your perceived gain. i say perceived because you aren’t actually winning, you can never fool the universe. and zero-sum games are always a loss for everyone involved even if it looks otherwise on the physical plain.
in order to break free from the trap life, we have to commit to everyone winning. that includes the people we can’t stand. we have to learn to bring in everyone (even those who have hurt us) as ourselves. this is the only way to climb out of the hole we have been conditioned into.
we can not even get to the full understanding of how 2 huge grocery stores with the same target audience (trader joes + PCC) are next-door neighbors without first looking at what it means to be abundant.
abundance means that regardless of what is happening around you, you are fully taken care of. abundance requires faith and what keeps us in life’s traps, is the absence of faith.
a great shortcut to finding faith is recognizing your connection to everything. if you realize that your boss (that you can’t stand) is you, then you’re going to start asking yourself different questions. for instance, when you get angry you may start to look within you to find the lesson of what is triggering that anger.
everything is within us. the only way we can fully take back our power is when we start taking accountability for our lives. instead of pointing the finger and placing blame we begin to start looking at what in us is resonating on the level of being taken advantage of. another example is when the drug dealer recognizes that he is selling to himself (that the user is him in another form) he can start to look within him and find why he is taking advantage of “himself.”
this all comes back to self-worth. you can not commit to the win-win if you don’t first think that you genuinely deserve to win. you can not create a business that thrives if you are not recognizing your worth and you aren’t seeing everyone in yourself. you can’t serve people until you recognize what you are needing. do you see how this cycle continues and continues? winning involves everyone.
and to close up, i will just touch on my second ah-ha moment. most people, majority of the world, aren’t creating value but are working. working for someone who decided to create real value or maybe not so real value (McDonald's isn’t valuable yet it creates many many jobs). if you don’t know your worth you will always work instead of creating. workers are there for a paycheck. creators know that paychecks are bullshit because we all have reservoirs of abundance waiting to be tapped. and once we tap into it, this money just flows to us. because money isn’t something we have to work for, it is something that is created based on an exchange of energy. something you can only do when you first recognize you are already rich.
