We live in an ultra hyper competitive world where (whether we like it or not) we are constantly being pushed to up our game…
Oftentimes it can feel intimidating and even defeating trying to keep up with our peers, many of whom simply have no fucking quit in them.
Typically, we can react a couple of different ways…
The first is to lament the success of others and then of course ridicule and chastise our perceived competition in a pathetic and what will be an eventual failed attempt to make ourselves feel better.
The second way to deal with the prosperities of those around us is by letting their actions serve as a gigantic motivating factor for our very own growth and development…
I realize it sounds like a cliche, but the only person we should ever be in competition with is ourselves. We cannot control what others do but we can control our reaction to their doings…
Logically, we need to CELEBRATE the success of others, and in turn let that be the rocket fuel to propel us to enter a competition with ourselves that will eventually lead us to get the absolute most out of our abilities…
Yet, we need to realize this world is full of miserable, jealous and petty people that love company and will undoubtedly root against us and all others as they try to do everything in their power to bring people down to their despicable and desperate level…
Don’t ever get caught in that trap and let’s make sure to completely rid these pieces of shit from our lives.
When hate is celebrated it will inevitably breed more hate the same way a love celebration will breed more love and celebrating success will breed more success…
Everyday we have a choice what we want to celebrate, choose wisely.
