Once you’re happy for Success of Other People instead of envious, you can start the process of getting to a happy place yourself!
Should we be happy for the success of Other People instead or envious?
Build the “biggest building” in town, but don’t do it by trying to tear down everyone else’s building. – Gary Vaynerchuk
It’s okay to say “that should be me” but i think it’s quite healthier to say “i would like that to be me someday” and well now you have a goal, the bar is set… You just need to execute and perform.
But while in the process, don’t tear down other people’s work, instead learn from them, observe what makes them great… Because in the end it’s all up to you, and you just need to be a bit better than yourself, for yesterday everyday.
Keeping the standards for yourself high while acknowledging the growth of others and their accomplishments is a great way to build community. Cheering on others in their pursuits shows your own character. cheering is good, but helping others are even better, and the more you give the more you will get back. The more you help others, and the more you try to give back, it is more less the soul of the socialistic spirit.
In every aspect of your life Try to be a Warrior (stand up and defend what you believe); a Servant (put the wants and needs of others before your own); and, a Leader (be a person of influence and impact). Being a WSL will pay off in happiness, contentment, satisfaction and so many other positive results. Simply being happy for the success of Other People instead doesn’t require the commitment and actions of being a WSL.
Build others up and in turn you will build yourself up . There is no point in envy or jealousy , they’ll always be someone thinner , richer , prettier or funnier or anything . Why would you make yourself miserable?. The most important thing we can have is our health. If you have it just be happy. remember how amazing it feels when someone is happy for you and alternately how unbelievably demotivating it is when they are not. Give out what you want back and you all grow and succeed
The best leaders are the ones who really want you to be better than you were and really fly! They let you shine and also recognize the fact that by having you who have the skills they don’t is a total asset. It’s the same for colleagues – sometimes it’s their moment, sometimes it’s yours but let’s celebrate every success together! It’s often only about the insecurity of that person and their position that breeds envy. Small people belittle others but great ones raise everyone around them.
If you do find that you are jealous or envious… get curious about that emotion —- sit with it — it may be pretty legit (and an indication to find a new role/context) or it might be an opportunity to discover something new, to grow, to learn what you want or admire. Focus all your attention to your development and you will succeed someday. and not having a brutal envy or hate
Let’s toss the coin to the other side. Now, if you truly love yourself, you can truly be happy for yourself and begin the process of making others happy by being you in your happy state and making others envy you and want the same. Envy is connotatively used to mean evil and it does not often have to be. Instead making others envious to mirror your happiness is a very noble trait to have and strengthens your character and resolve to continue being happy and make others happy.
Right, the success of other people instead serves to underscore the failures you find in oneself but success too is contagious, praise the people that over perform, recognize their talent, take pride in the fact that success is achievable in your personal environment and take advantage. Get on board, get out of your head and make it happen as it’s happening all around you. Truly being happy for others success allows you to find your own. They got what you might’ve wanted for a reason. Usually it wasn’t for you. What is meant for you will come to you through your efforts and be just right for you.
The Glory of Perfection and the Underlying Gains of Practice
Being ruthlessly envious is the result of ego. Understand it, control it, conquer it. When the ego is conquered, the mind can be conquered. If the mind is conquered, then you have conquered yourself. Feelings, emotions, attitudes, statuses, titles, and material things become less important; It no longer becomes a true identity
In general, first you have to be in a good place mentally yourself and then once that happens any old feelings of envy or resentment towards the success of other people instead are replaced with feelings of happiness and joy for others. Everything starts within you, and then it branches out, good or bad. Mindset is a powerful thing. Hone it to be positive. Its you who truly drives yourself either to land in a happy place or in a place of resentment and jealousy. It often takes much more than pretending to be good to build that happy place you actually envy others who have it.
