Some People Don't Like To Celebrate Success In Others

I have written about jealousy and envy of others before but again a reminder that

Some People Don't Like To Celebrate Success In Others.

Whether it is points from blogging, featured posts, sales numbers and dollars earned, or the next door neighbor just got a brand new car better than yours. What do they say with envy? One of the deadly sins?

It is called covetousness, and beyond some moral view of it, it truly stems from some kind of: INSECURITY

You can't flip a switch and undo what is going on in the mind of another when YOU achieve some modicum of success in wherever you find your lot in life, but like last year's championship sports team, you will have this TARGET on you and those that are insecure WANT TO BRING YOU DOWN BAD. It just makes their day. The positive thoughts to have dealing with these characters when you bump into them:

• The problem is with them, not you
• Even celebrate THEIR success when you see it, and loving them might make them think twice about hating you
• When you compete REALLY you are competing against YOURSELF and your former best effort
• SMALL minds worry about all this trivial stuff and you are better than that

IGNORE petty jealousy of others, but realize it does exist. Just the way YOU LIVE....

HAVE NONE OF IT IN YOUR LIFE.
