I read this quote today, “There are people who don’t mind if you fail…but it really bothers them if you succeed.”

Do you know people like this? If not, are you THAT person?

Let’s be honest. We all have that tiny voice inside of us that gets excited when we see someone goof. What is it that makes us okay when someone fails? Oh, how selfish our core is!

Now that truth sucks, but here’s another one that’s worse: sometimes we get ticked when someone succeeds! Instead of cheering them on, we throw a fit. Selfishness!

My prayer is that I’ll be humble enough to slaughter that voice and have compassion and mercy on everyone. Even those I admire and look up to. Even those I’m jealous of, which is code for admiring them and looking up to them – I just haven’t admited that to myself yet.
