Support and encouragement are invaluable and take us to incredible places, but resentment of others success can be very damaging at the other end of the scale.
Most of us have suffered resentment/envy at some stage of our lives.
We have either been somewhat envious of others’ success and that sometimes has been a great spark for us deciding to work much harder again and attain success well beyond what we thought possible, so it ended up a very positive experience in the end.Or resentment can build up and stops us reaching nowhere near what we are capable of. Resentment can build up and if let bottled up, can lead to ill health over time latest research says.
There becomes two forks in the road with us, either we embrace the fact that we need to work continuously harder and better to get where we want to be learning more and more along the way, or we resent the fact that we aren’t where want to be and let it eat us up every day, secretly causing misery, anxiety and stress no matter what brave face we decide to put on.
It’s easy to see those who are always humble, always want to keep on learning and work hard and they always achieve great things over time, and it’s always easy to see those that are envious, don’t acknowledge others’ success and curse the world continuously for their “bad luck”.Which camp do you want to be in?
