Why I Find Inspiration in the People Around Me
Something I have always been grateful for in my life is the honor to be surrounded by such compassionate, driven, and successful individuals.
In talking with friends, colleagues, family, and acquaintances, I have discovered that the people you choose to surround yourself with truly make an impact on how you view yourself and your worth.
However, in the past, I didn’t always see my worth and I wasn’t always happy about the successes of people in my life.
It’s almost as if I didn’t want them to succeed because it was an opportunity for them to surpass me.
When I was younger, I used to be envious of the successes my peers, colleagues, and friends had achieved, but I realized that envy does not bring me any closer to accomplishing my own goals.
The achievements of the people around me did not rob me of any opportunities; instead, I was allowing my own mind to rob me of opportunities.
Years later, I know that what others have accomplished should only MOTIVATE me even further to what I can accomplish too.
I can honestly say that the people I surround myself with inspire me EVERY DAY.
And now, I have found comfort in being able to look up to them instead of envying them.
KNOW YOUR WORTH because it is so much greater than you may believe.
And once you start believing in your own worth, you may be surprised how many things you are able to accomplish.
