By Morongwa Makakane- Makgamatho,
Not necessarily. The problem becomes when you get so obsessed with moving yourself ahead of others by putting them down, tryna lift yourself up at everyone’s expense.
Reality of life is that someone will always be better off than you, someone will always be more beautiful than you, someone will always have better circumstances than you, someone will always have something you don’t have. Putting people down to advance yourself won’t get you to their level, or to get you where you want to get in life.
Looking up to them so that you can improve your situation, by learning at what they are doing, learning what you can apply to change in your life to make it better, not by copying them because our circumstances are different, and certainly NOT trying to change what and how they’re doing, is what will amass the little wins for you, so that you ultimately achieve your dreams and aspirations.
You, and only you, are in control of your life, the decisions and choices you make.
So, focus on YOU. And so, I ask you: What’s holding you back? #itstartswithyou.Â
