You should always feel encouraged when other people experience success, not discouraged. Just because someone else succeeds doesn’t mean you can’t as well.
When I played football, if I wasn’t in the game and another running back was performing well, I never got upset, jealous, or discouraged about not playing. I would be happy for their success. I’d get encouraged because I knew that if they were able to succeed on the field, I could achieve the same, if not more.
When you see someone doing something in life that you’d like to achieve, whether they’re a peer or a competitor, just know that you can attain the same level of success. Let their accomplishments serve as an example of what’s possible.
We can all succeed in life. Success is not a limited resource. Be encouraged when others find their success, and know that yours will come too.
