Is someone’s success making you envious?

Anyone who has succeeded in life has only done so by giving their time and effort. When you see their effort, you will appreciate them, but if you only see the results, you may only envy them.

Very often, people become envious of others' achievements. This usually happens because they see themselves as a failure when others succeed. We need to remember that our efforts give results at different times. We just need to wait for our time to shine.

Don't feel disheartened if you are yet to see the results, rather, be hopeful that, like others, you will also become successful one day.

Do you feel confident about yourself?

Not many people do and often they seek validation from others to feel comfortable.

When you accept who you are, you become so confident that what others think of you doesn’t affect you in any way. Rather, you connect with even those who criticize you because you trust your own abilities. You come to know that the people who criticize are the ones who lack the courage, envy your success and even your acceptance of yourself.

Trust your own opinion. Your self worth is much bigger than anyone else's opinion.

Why do people sometimes choose to leave those they love the most?

We make relationships out of love and affection. When our needs in a relationship are ignored, our emotions are dismissed, and we often face discouragement; we become detached from that person.

One of the reasons why we are able to adjust to our loved ones is because of the comfort we get in that relationship. When the same relationship becomes a source of pain and discomfort, we try to adjust until we reach a point when we break down and make the hard choice to move on.

Make people feel valued in the relationship. Respect their emotions, make them feel worthy and try your best that you give them no reason to call it a quit.

 

Reason to celebrate

If it is your birthday, a special event or a festival, you need to mark the day with celebrations. We often miss out on celebrations because we feel life is not going as we want. We wait for things to improve and situations to change, losing time and the moment that will never return.

Celebrate the special day and start afresh. Sometimes this is what is needed to put an end to your sorrows.

Wishing all the celebrants the very best.

Why should we never be disappointed with a lack of growth in life?

Growth is always happening, most of the time in slow and subtle ways, so it is not always visible to us.

Most of us see the final outcome as growth. Accomplishing our goals, bringing them to the top and reaping the fruits of our effort is considered growth. Although achieving the growth one has imagined can be very satisfying, one must remember that a seed doesn’t suddenly turn into a tree.

Appreciate the skills, knowledge and wisdom you have gained and the connections you have made. You will realise you never stop growing.

 

Does honesty always pay?

Making money with honesty may seem very difficult, but it is the surest way to succeed.

Some people believe in making quick and easy wealth even if it requires them to give up their values. You might be able to earn wealth and social status, but it can never buy you true respect. True respect comes from when you feel worthy in your own eyes. No wealth can buy it back for you when you fall in your own eyes.

The money you earn is meant to fulfil your needs. Let your earnings be full of honesty and respect so that it becomes a blessing when you utilise them.

 

How can self-analysis improve our lives?

Self-analysis means that we analyse ourselves with the intention to learn and improve. When we make it our daily habit, we bring a positive change into our daily lives.

One of the qualities of successful people is that they believe in continuous self-improvement. They analyse their day, learn from their daily experience, acknowledge their shortcomings and think of ways to address them. By learning and improving, they prevent those situations from happening again that absorb their time and energy.

At the end of the day, spend a few minutes reflecting on your day, appreciating yourself and bringing changes that can help you improve.
