"Envy is born from comparison."
👁️
"Why do the people closest to us feel bothered when we start to succeed?"
Imagine the following example: two neighboring mothers who watched their children, the same age, grow up together. They went to the same school and faced similar challenges. At a certain point, one of the childhood friends begins to excel—finding a stable job, starting college, buying a car.
From that moment, the neighboring mother starts to think her own child has failed. Then come the criticisms and belittling remarks. Envy often comes from above and trickles down as resentment, creating rivalry among those who fail to understand what's really happening.
We all have that cousin who became more successful than us and, to some extent, is held up as an example by the family. But we don’t hate them. Because even though they grew up under the same fiery sky as us, we understand that, at some point, they made different decisions, dedicated themselves to another path, met new people, and found their own calling.
You’re not late. Success has individual conditions that make its timing relative.
That’s why every problem is born from comparison.
Thank you for reading this far, dear friend!
