Can you root for someone's successes like it's your own, even if it means they get theirs before you get yours?...Can you clap for someone else until your time comes if called to do so?<br/><br/>I bring this up because I apply this a lot. I'm at the start of my journey. Sometimes it's a matter of finding your people where you can really blossom. (They are not worried about my Youtube channel over here, they got their own...their grass is greener, but I'm happy I got my own yard too. You can be happy for others, and still be a light in your own right at the same time. Take a lesson from Kelly Rowland and Miss Nigeria.) It can be done, but you can learn mindsets to not get intimidated by someone' successes, but to propel you to grow as a person. <br/><br/>People in our age group? We compare and compete with each other too much. It's ridiculous. The time you spend trying to keep up with the Joneses could be time you could spend growing as a person. The question is which path are you going to choose? <br/><br/>Being jealous or hating on someone is not going to serve you. Can you reframe your mindset to see someone's successes as an opportunity to learn and grow, to see how far you can get in your breakthrough? Instead of seeing someone's success as someone taking away from you (because trust me, no one is taking from you...they put in the work that most won't to live a life most don't).Maybe you secretly wish you could do the same things, or maybe you feel like they got theirs, and you haven't gotten yours, and it's being thrown up in your face. <br/><br/>Remember to not compare your day 1 to someone else's day 400. You never know what someone went through to get where they are today. If you can't be happy for someone, unpack and figure out why. Maybe their successes put a spotlight on your biggest insecurities....I will tell you, gossiping about someone, cutting someone, or talking negatively about someone who you think got ahead of you won't do it. Building your skills, finding your lane, finding your own talents, addressing those jealousies and insecurities and having blind faith will.<br/><br/>What's blind faith? Blind faith is believing you will be successful, even if it hasn't happened in real life, you have to learn how to believe in what you can't see. I was called all kinds of names by my peers, but it's not so crazy now that it's happening in real life, correct? No matter how \
