Find inspiration in the success of others from "summary" of Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling
When I see someone else doing something great, I get jealous. How could they be so talented and successful while I'm just here doing my thing, not really getting anywhere? It's like a little voice inside my head that says, "Why not me?" But then I remember something important - their success doesn't mean I can't also be successful. In fact, it should inspire me to work harder and strive for my own goals.
I've learned that instead of feeling envious or defeated by someone else's accomplishments, I should look at them as a source of inspiration. They're proof that it's possible to achieve great things, no matter where you come from or what obstacles you face. Their success should motivate me to push myself beyond my limits and reach for the stars.
When I see someone who has achieved something amazing, I try to learn from them. What did they do to get to where they are now? What challenges did they overcome along the way? By studying their journey, I can gain valuable insights that will help me on my own path to success. It's like having a personal mentor, guiding me towards my goals and pushing me to be the best version of myself.
I also remind myself that success is not a finite resource - there's enough to go around for everyone. Just because someone else is doing well doesn't mean I can't also succeed. We can all achieve our dreams if we're willing to put in the hard work and dedication it takes to get there. So instead of feeling discouraged by the success of others, I choose to find inspiration in their achievements and use it to fuel my own ambitions.
In the end, it's all about perspective. Instead of viewing someone else's success as a threat or a reason to give up, I choose to see it as a reminder that anything is possible. Their accomplishments serve as a beacon of hope, showing me that with determination and perseverance, I can also make my dreams a reality. So the next time I feel that twinge of jealousy creeping in, I'll remember to shift my mindset and find inspiration in the success of others.
