Does someone else's success equal our failure? Of course the answer is no... but why do so many of us feel this way? If we see someone flourishing in the same field as us, instead of giving that person their props we try to downplay what they're doing. And we do this because we're not completely secure in our abilities. We have this mentality where there can only be one at the top. We have this mentality where if we compliment others on their accomplishments, it takes away from our accomplishments. If a person is more advanced than us at something, it makes us feel as though we're not good enough. Instead of being inspired by that person and admiring that person, we envy that person. The reason I keep saying "we" is because this is something I've struggled with. But there's a few things that I've realized...

1.) When you're inspired by someone or admire what they're doing, but you refuse to give them credit NO GOOD WILL COME TO YOU! The universe feels that resistance.

2.) When you downplay or speak negatively on something positive that someone is doing YOU ARE BLOCKING YOUR BLESSINGS! And talking bad about them is NOT going to stop their blessings.

3.) Last but not least... what God has for you, is FOR YOU! We all grow at different paces and we all have different paths to take even if our destination is the same.

So with that being said... spread love!!! Happy Friday :)
