Once you stop competing you eliminate all leverage against you
Because that's how society is designed
To make you compete against others
Compete for jobs (that's why you have to apply to tons of places and interview against other candidates)
Compete for resources/money
Compete for power and authority over others
Even compete against other men for a desirable woman
But once you stop competing you buck the system
You become a glitch in the matrix
You're no longer just another cog in the machinery competing against other cogs
There's no more leverage to be used against you to entice you compete to obtain things you no longer care about
Think about the muti-millionaire who still works hard
Despite his wealth he's still leveraged to keep on working hard to maintain that wealth or increase it
He will never be truly free
Just a hamster running perpetually on a more expensive wheel than the other hamsters

It's easiest to compete until you make it, then relax and let whoever wants to keep competing battle each other

I agree with this entirely. What I've decided to do is find certain niche tasks that nobody else is doing(and have a super high barrier to entry), so I have no competition. Life is much better this way.
