Celebrate the Success of Your Friends
One of the quickest ways to build a lasting friendship is to celebrate the success of your friend. One of the quickest ways to destroy a friendship is to let jealousy of your friend's achievements embitter you.
Conditioning yourself to maintain a joyful and supporting attitude is good for your friends and good for you. It helps your friends to stay excited about the things they are doing. With success often comes new hurdles, doubts, and fears. It is an incredible gift for your friends to have you stand by them and encourage them. Be the type of friend that they can count on in the new life that success brings.
It also is good for you to maintain that attitude. It can be easy to get jealous of your friends' success. There are times when every good piece of news they get reminds you of all the bad news you have received.
Although it can be hard, try to keep some perspective. Their success does not prevent you from having success yourself. Smile and be thankful that the people who surround you are doing great things. Look to them and learn lessons from their paths to success.
Good friends are some of the greatest gifts in life. Do not throw them away out of jealousy. Take a deep breath, cheer them on, get back to work, and know that they will be there to support you when your big day comes!
