Some individuals’ desire for
success is not driven by their past achievements. Their desire to succeed is
driven by the car a friend just bought, a friend who just got married, a neighbor
who just built a house, a friend who just rented an apartment or flat, a
preacher who just bought a jet for personal use, a colleague who just got
promoted and so on and forth. All these are genuine successes of people around
you and they must be praised for their determination to have gotten thus far.
You should be happy for these individuals. Being happy does not mean to say you
should be envious or jealous of their successes at the same time. If you are
jealous of these individuals, there is the probability you would do the wrong
things to achieve whatever you are clamoring to have. The desire to be the best
of you each preceding year should be your goal. Your competition is with your
past achievement. You should weigh your past achievement with your present and
if you are not satisfied with were you are, you may need to have a better plan
to achieve greater results. What drives your desire to succeed? Is it to outdo
your friend, neighbor, sister, brother, nephew niece, classmates or boss? Let
none of these drive your desire to succeed. Your desire to succeed should only
be a drive from the dissatisfaction with your present state or past. Never be
envious of anyone, your purpose for being is different. You cannot monitor
every move they make to measure your success. Ask yourself what drives my
desire to succeed? And then, look back at your past achievement and outdo it!
BE TRULY HAPPY FOR PEOPLE'S ACHIEVEMENT |
