There are a lot of potential strings attached to being happy for someone.
You may also be envious, jealous, upset, and angry with them at the same time.
Maybe they have something you want.
Maybe they’ve done something you’ve always dreamed of doing.
If you can’t be unconditionally happy for someone, don’t be anything. Don’t pay any mind to it. Give it the cold shoulder.
I won’t argue that you can’t be happy and jealous at the same time, but I will argue you can’t be as passionate, driven, and energized about your goal if you’re jealous someone else has already met it.
Stay Positive & Focus On You, You’ll Be Better Off For It
