Success is not a limited Resource/GENERAL ARTICLES

Success is not a limited Resource 

I’m noticing from quite some time that our environment is now framed in a way that some people think they are better and they’re trying to bicker their way by creating false perceptions in people’s minds to prove it. As if this yields in something other than to show their own sense of jealousy and negativity.

When an individual believes that he cannot see others get ahead, they plot ill-will actions, like speaking ill and creating false perceptions about them. This leaves no room for positive collaboration leading to better productivity and growth, instead the opposite happens of keeping up with the destructive competition.

And destructive competition is unsafe for the society as whole. Because I believe a society only flourishes on the values of healthy competition, good-will for each other and a sense of cooperation to achieve common good.

Sadly, it has become so easy to functions on ill-will, hatred, jealousy and revenge today, all fueled by negative competition.

It is important that these kind of harmful and ill-will talks should not be carried on and there is a need to play constructive role in creating a culture that benefits everyone, unlike destructive competition and false perception. Negative competition has bad consequences because you need not to forget that the dog-eat-dog attitude has never and will never benefit anyone.

Keep in mind that this is never a good road to take. No matter how much success you manage to get, there will always be someone doing much better than you. So, competition should convey a positive meaning and motivates a person to do his best and not the other way around.

Hence, instead of wallowing in negative emotions, take this opportunity to transfer those feelings into positive ones by allowing yourself to be inspired by other’s good points and success, and find out what you can learn from them instead of just trying to compete yourself to them.

Lastly and most importantly remember, success is not a limited resource that will deplete because other people become successful.

There is plenty of success out there for all of us and it is nice to have good friends.
