I have found that when you give freely with no expectation of getting something back that God/universe will always allow good things to happen to you. Sometimes these things are totally unexpected but by giving you always receive something back!

It is very hard to do, but you have a great opportunity to learn to give with out conditions. It is very hard some times to do. After a while you will see gifts come back to you (maybe not from your friend)
Growing can be frustrating when others are not growing at the same time or rate, but don’t let that hold you back or slow you down.
Best of luck and love.

Living in Los Angeles, we see this often, the ego used to drive people forward. It seems part of the culture. Hip hop is usually rooted in songs about how the singer is better than other people. Many people here get conditioned to use their ego to advance.

But how we can help them is to never make them wrong. Making a person wrong just have them entrench their position. They just made a mistake along the way, maybe following culture, and didn’t know better. So we can show them how those who are VERY successful actors are COLLABORATIVE, not competitive.

Examples can help them see this. Look at Afleck & Damon. Many of the greats, like Deniro, were roommates with other actors and they helped each other. Recently when Terrence Howard was dropped from Iron Man 2, he was happy Don Cheatle got the part, because Don gave him a break in Crash.

Don’t make the person wrong. Help them be right. Figure out what they want and show them a higher order way of getting that. The highest order is sharing. Life, as art, is a co-laborative pursuit.

But hey, if they are commited to competition, Social Darwinism, I say drop ’em, because that is their ideology. Eventually they will step on people so they can win. The belief in that is too deep.
