Why do we find ourselves secretly hating the success of others? Something good happens in their life and we have a tendency to want to be happy for them, but not feeling happy for them. What if we learned to celebrate others’ victories? The truth is, their success doesn’t mean you won’t succeed as well.
The reason we often feel this tension is really all about us. There’s something inside of us that’s insecure or jealous. We have an issue and we’re robbed of the joy that others could bring us. What does it look like for us to truly celebrate others? It looks like us getting past our own issues.
Their win doesn’t mean you’ll take a loss. We need to learn to take joy in the success of others.
