Be Inspired, Not Envious.
As a hustler, let the success of your neighbors, friends, classmates—or anyone around you—be a source of inspiration and motivation, not envy.
Let’s understand these two words: Inspiration and Envy .
Inspiration is the act of being positively influenced by a person, experience, or idea, which drives you to create, achieve, or develop new possibilities.
Envy refers to as a painful feeling of wanting what someone else has—whether it’s their qualities, possessions, or achievements. It often comes with resentment or grudging admiration.
Inspiration pushes you to learn. It makes you curious: How did he or she achieve this? It gives you hope that you too can reach that level one day—especially if you are willing to learn, work hard, and stay consistent.
Where as Envy blinds you. Instead of learning, you feel threatened. You interpret corrections as insults: “Is it because you have what I don’t?”, "Is it because you're richer than me?" Instead of growing, you waste energy on bitterness. Envy can even push you toward destructive actions, leaving you frustrated in the end.
Sometimes the person you envy wasn’t “brighter” than you back in school. The difference is, they kept learning beyond the classroom. You relied only on school results, while they chased results outside school. Growth doesn’t stop with a certificate—it continues with self-development.
Finally, be inspired by the success of those close to you. Don’t let their wins make you bitter. When you’re pained, you may start looking for ways to pull them down. That only distracts you from building yourself.
This is a simple message that came to me, and feel like sharing to you,read to understand, not to find faults.
I hope it helps. 🙏
Thanks 👍
