We hate it when our friends become successful
For many artrepreneurs, we can easily get bitter, jealous, even vengeful when someone close to us becomes more successful than us. Like Morrissey sang it, we hate it when our friends become successful. Sometimes, the fear of being hated can also be a deterrent for us to go all out to strive for our success. We're afraid of how our friends or family will perceive it. We want to avoid the snide comments, we feel compelled to hide the joy we're getting from our work. This week, we tackle both the hated and the haters because no one wants to live like that. The more you can focus on your own purpose, your own dreams, the less you'll care about what others are doing. The more you can get over the fact that people are going to dislike you because of their own hangups, the happier you'll be.
