@electroBeam you hit the spot of what I'm trying to get at. The point of being a Creator through the means of competing and such is really what I'm getting at.
An example of what I'm getting at as far as maybe a Life Purpose goes could be say a YouTube channel that documents my training, racing, but also the emotional components "behind the scene" to give aspiring athletes of what a life of Mastery looks like in working towards becoming World Class. So it's not just hitting the competitive component but actually more focusing on inspiring athletes to not be afraid nor brought down of pursuing their aspirations to becoming the best THEY can be rather than just trying to focus on beating people. Again though, in a way that really hits home emotionally that creates inspiration. So if someone is a competitive person like me, direct that competitiveness in the direction of competing and creating something magnificent but on their own terms. Not on the scale that society may find more important. Also documenting say, spiritual components that go behind this lifestyle, e.g. Meditation, personal development work, etc. so people understand there's a balance to all of this.
I truly see sports as a tool that teaches. It can certain teach people bad/unhealthy things and behaviors which we see all too often on tv and what not. However, it can also teach you good things.
i really want to emphasize the fact that what I described in my post is really no different that what we see in business. Yes there are companies out there that just try to be at the top through unethical means just for the sake of status. There are also companies though that truly get to the top but because they want to make a huge impact on the world. So if that means surpassing and outdoing their competitors, so be it. That's ultimately what I'm getting at. I guess I didn't do a good job of describing that but this is really what I'm getting at.
Leo & Extreme Z7, I think that was a bit much but I think I didn't word what I said in the original post clear enough. Hope this comment clears things up. Don't want to take those comments personally despite them being a bit much as I know you two mean well.
Specific well-intentioned feedback on this still appreciated! ?
