Nobody even cares!
Is imitation the highest form of flattery or is it just shouting out someones else's beliefs?
I recently had someone ask me if I was afraid having "competitors" knowing what I am doing in my interests at the moment, both business and personal.
I replied that I cannot worry about what my competitors are doing, if I do anything to try and be like them then I am not being true to myself or my business. I just do what I do.
If people want to try and imitate what I am doing then by the time they do it to my level, I will have moved onto something else.
To imitate is not being true to yourself or your mission, your intention and truth.
To be "in-spired"to create something original and amazing is to be "in-spirit", connected to the Source and thus doing something to better the Whole instead of the Ego.
For example: When I blog, I lose time, I play with the words, I research, I learn and I feel the experince of being on purpose. It all makes sense to me. I have no plans other than being in the moment with the post, nothing before, nothing after. No expectations about what people will think, why I am writing it, there is never an ulterior motive and no thought of whether people will even read it.
I am merely being myself and speaking my truth and trying to keep Igor [Ego] in check.
I recently discussed with Domonique the Wonderful an issue where an idea of mine was being used my someone else and no credit was being given for my work. I knew I didn't own the idea but I was feeling a little uneasy about it. "What it just Ego?" I asked.
Domonique suggested that I had been pillaged. All my work and learnings used by someone else for their own benefit, leaving me feeling that my spiritual valuables had been taken from a very precious place, my heart.
What did I do? I acknowledged it and I let it go.
That's all I can do, it doesn't really matter, I heard a rumour that none of its real anyway!
