Hazards of Gifted Performance: Pride, Jealousy, Competition, etc.
Gifted performance is identified by its ability to connect and communicate on a deep personal, internal, metaphysical level.
Such effective connections and skills have both positive, and negative, attributes. The holistic approach addresses such dilemmas.
Pre-Plan by anticipating what lies ahead. Plan A, Plan B, etc.
The "social media" has opened convenient means of specifically attacking/bullying/terrorizing others for jealousy or competitive advantages. Social, even life threatening consequences are now the reality. The ability to re-frame these negatives is vital to life long success and joy.
Understanding the multitude and magnitude of personal responses to gifted performance is a vital factor in a rewarding lifestyle. Positive/negative forces and consequences must be planned for; and should be taught. These navigational skills are now prerequisites.
Pre-planning our responses is a huge advantage in successfully negotiating the roadway of life. Our goals, values, and the consequences then become part of the decision making process.
Knowledge of what is ahead is not always certain. Understanding the multitude of possibilities creates an immediate decision in accord with our anticipated life journey.
Our goals, values, and consequences have then become part of the decision making process.
It is realistic to assume that we have no control over how the recipient is going to react, or what they will do with a gifted experience. Changing society and others is usually fruitless. Responses can vary from appreciation and admiration; to jealousy, scorn, and/or even being viewed as a competitive threat that needs to be eliminated.
The danger can come from others, or may come from ourselves. Our response to "admiration and appreciation" needs to be controlled as well. There is the trap of pride, conceit, and self-centeredness that can cause loss of a sense of true values. Performance gains can stall if an unteachable attitude takes control; or a "look at me" priority takes hold.
In truly gifted performance the bio-dynamics lead to deeper and great understandings. It is this quest for more that keeps the spirit humble; and the creative spirit alive.
"There is not time to take minutes to think when split seconds count."
"You will never reach the end of your journey;
if you stop to throw stones at every barking dog." Winston Churchill
Performing with giftedness can be a somewhat lonely place. The nature of rising above the crowd is being above/separated by definition. The concept of dispensing this information widely gives "another crowd" with whom people can associate with. There is more self identity and independence because of the deeper understanding/experience of who you are. It is not being dependent on others for identity. Therefore there is a bond and understandings among gifted people that they alone can share. The connection is deep; but it isn't a bond that needs constant nurturing.
One of the best means of preventing isolation is to attach to others in whatever dimensions are appropriately sustainable, and being content with it. Another way is to bring others along in the mutual pursuit of giftedness. Share the learnings, the experiences, the joy, and the wonderful magic.
This is the purpose of this website: To enable everyone and anyone to share in the realm of natural giftedness that is within them. This is the ultimate cure to the hazards of gifted performance. Will never happen, but the more gifted performing people that can be developed; the more like minded acquaintainces there will be.
Pride: One aspect that can be controlled.
Gifted Performance is using the natural energy paths and breathing patterns to actualize the visualization process. This can be done at any level of technical ability. It is also the movements and connective abilities of babys and toddlers. Most of us have lost these abilities as we have matured. It has been a re-learning process. The basics return immediately, without difficult training. Unfortunately there isn't that much to be overly proud about. It is creating better accomplishments, but through the knowledge of now allowing the body to do what it originally was intended to do.
Technical expertise reflects the technical training, study, and practice. So that area is more of an accomplishment than gifted performance's natural state.
Rather than pride there should be a sense of awe in what the body/mind/spirit-breath is able to do.
There is humility in the realization that there is more beyond ourselves, and more deeper within ourselves than can be imagined. This creates a personal identity and gives hope that there is more.
Perhaps rather than being "proud;" a humble thankfulness would be a more appropriate response.

Jealousy: Is not under our control. Only our response to it.
There are two options: 1. Be the person who is jealous.
2. Be the person who is being jealous of.
(If "option 2" is picked; then learn to successfully live without it. It is a life navigational skill.)
Jealousy is someone else's response, which we can not usually control. However we can control our response to it.
1. Find new acquaintances- The plus is that the deeper self-identity from going deeper into oneself makes the role of others not as important.
2. Seek other gifted people- They are isolated for the same reasons. Take each relationship only for what it has to offer, or give. Acquaintances are not the same as friendships. Expectations have to be appropriate.
3. Bring someone along with you in your journey to utilize giftedness. That is what this website is for; teaching gifted performance. When more people use these energy bio-dynamics it won't be so unique so jealousy and competition will lessen.
4. Understand that besides fellow acquaintances capable of jealousy there are:
* Teachers (afraid you will pass them in skills;)
* Parents (fearful of their children being overshadowed/ themselves looking as not competent parents/ or living their lives through their kids so it is a competitive war;)
* Business associates (afraid of losing their position to you, being passed over for promotion, or being judged as performance not up to par;)
* employers (afraid you are looking better than them and they are the boss;)
* People who are fearful of losing all the attention in this "look at me" "celebrity" world; etc.
The idea is that jealousy is everywhere. There are times when it has to be ignored.
