A Better Question
I live in a world where there are others. I live with them and they live with me. We influence each other by direct relationship and also without any direct contact. I noticed that jealousy when I see other people more successful than me.
This person is wealthy.
This person has more followers on YouTube.
This person is more good looking.
The list can keep going.
Every time I encounter someone better than me my heart shuts down and turns away from them. The more I do this I am isolating myself from the world. I am closing doors than opening them. I am burning bridges than making them.
When I see someone that is better than me, instead of comparing “why I don’t have that life and why I can’t do that”
Get inspired by them by asking this question “What can I learn from you?”
“What can I learn from you?” Opens the door of possibility.
“What can I learn from you?” Makes me curious about their success.
“What can I learn from you?” Helps me engage and connect with the person.
“What can I learn from you?” makes my heart feel better than pushing them away.
