Inspiration

Let’s say something great happens to someone around you. What’s the first thing that comes to mind? Is it jealousy, spite or even hate?

Well of course not, but let’s face it, there’s always the tendancy to compare yourself to others in today’s society. There’s always the need to prove yourself to others. But why though? Why not just focus on what we actually want to do instead of trying to please others (or make them jealous). Jealousy is a very bad and crushing feeling, it’s the inverse of inspiration. You know you’ve got a true friend if he congratulates you and actually means it. You see that there’s no spite and he’s happy for you. He doesn’t secretly wish to be in your shoes because you are a lucky bastard, he instead knows you worked hard to get to where you are and feels inspired to do the same. Why not be that friend and help those around you.

Let’s pull each other up instead of dragging each other down.
