Aren’t You Tired of Watching Others Be Successful?

Stop harvesting the belief that you are not worthy or capable.

“Good for them.”

Look, I’m not telling you to hate on someone else. No one is jealous or envious of anyone else.

That doesn’t do anything for you or me.

In fact, do enjoy other people’s success.

Let it serve as a reminder to you that day after day, people — regular humans just like you — are out there achieving great things. The moment you stop seeing others succeed in life, there’s a problem.

That may mean there’s a “success shortage” or something. Trust me, as much as it may bother you now, you want to know that others are still succeeding out there in this crazy life. That means it is possible for you!

The success of others that you see anywhere, especially on social media, should serve as motivation for you to do better. It should be a good sign for you that change is still possible and success is still possible.

What it shouldn’t be is confirmation of your weak-minded belief that you are somehow not worthy or capable of success.

Like, really?

Some of these people went to school with you! You know back then that they weren’t even shit.

But they’ve changed, haven’t they?

And now you feel like a loser because you’re still doing the same thing you were doing years ago, floating through life without intention.

Sure, maybe they are just humans, but perhaps they aren’t quite like you after all. Maybe they used to be like you, but they are different now.

And shouldn’t that make you feel good? Shouldn’t it make you feel good that you watched a loser become someone completely different?

Understand this: successful people are people who didn’t look at the success of others and think it was impossible for them.

It is one of the most detrimental and weakest mindsets to ourselves to hold this belief that we aren’t capable of achieving something great.

Aren’t you tired of watching others succeed?

I don’t get jealous or anything anymore. I won’t lie to you, back then I did.

I got mad because these “successful” people I saw on social media were a constant reminder that I wasn’t doing shit. In hindsight, this isn’t quite bad, though.

Perhaps you should be mad, but only at yourself. You should also remember that most people are putting on a face for you to see and are still messed up themselves.

Nonetheless, that doesn’t matter. Even if the success you see from others is a facade, it still gets to you.

It still crawls under your skin to remind you of your worthlessness. At least that’s how you take it.

Instead, get mad at yourself about the little-to-no-work that you’re putting in. Appreciate the success of others, then log the hell off and get after it.

Aren’t you tired of watching others succeed?

Perhaps you wouldn’t be if you were succeeding yourself.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get on the grind. This is your life we’re talking about. Be your own hero, don’t look up to anyone but your future self.
