Greed is the need for more power than another.
The need to be powerful results from being disconnected from one’s true source of power and needing other people to supply your emotional energy.
It is based on a belief that the more people that I have power over, the more powerful I am.
Superiority is the belief that I am better than or superior to other people.
I believe that I have a higher status and therefore authority over others.
The need to be superior to others is driven by the need to effectively influence other people to your way of thinking.
The ability to affect other people’s behaviour with my influence makes my authority superior to theirs and makes me more superior and better than them.
Rivalry is the need to be more able than other people, whether in education, sport, business or any other sphere of competitive life.
I compete to prove that my ability is greater than another’s.
My competitors are my rivals.
When I compare my emotional power, I am being greedy.
When I compare my mental authority, I am being superior.
When I compare my ability, I am being a rival.
All three are negative attributes because they disallow a true expression of who I really am.
