onto today’s topic: wish people well 🎐

if we don’t celebrate others’ achievements wholeheartedly, how could we possibly expect others to genuinely cheer us on? wishing for the downfall of others only brings us closer to our own — there is nothing to gain from it. instead, you only serve to push yourself further into your pit of insecurity.

you’re allowed to be disappointed about not receiving an internship offer or not doing too well on an exam. it’s not okay to project that disappointment onto friends that are doing well though. 🤨

we all go through our ups and downs, and ultimately, our friends and community get us through it with their support. your job as a friend never involves bringing someone down.

wish people well, and that positivity will make its way back around. still, don’t wish someone well just for that personal motive — do it with a genuine heart. 💛

if you find yourself struggling to genuinely be happy for others, start with yourself and practice gratitude. cultivating mudita often begins with appreciating yourself with confidence.
