Why are we Watchful of other's Success?

By -
successful character holding a gold cupSuccess is vital in our lives and this is the reason why we work so hard and we never cease to dream. Some people find meaning in life through it, some people already achieved it, some people think they can never have it.

  Success is very subjective, we view other's success by our own definition of it and we base our own success thinking of other people's accomplishments. That is why there are always comparison and competition.You might think that you are very unlucky because unlike the people you look up to, you have never stepped into that shoes. On the other hand some people might be envious of you thinking that you already are a successful one.

 We get envious for we always compare ourselves to other people. We never had contentment in life always asking for something greater than what we deserve, and I am not saying that we deserve less because none of us are. My point is we should acknowledge our own achievements and stop looking at other's success. what we should do is look for contentment for without it we will always be empty and will never be fulfilled.

 The true definition of success is not by the amount of the money that we have, not by how many cars and what type of cars do we ride or not the luxurious things that we own. True success is real happiness. It's when you pause for a moment and give thanks for the little things that completes your life. 

  Do you consider yourself successful  already? if not yet, why?
share your thoughts.

Each and everyday we encounter problems and trials that put our survival skills to test, things like school projects, bills to pay, food to eat, broken hearts, bankruptcy, death, and a lot more to mention. These are small and big challenges in life and it varies from person to person on how these problems are being solved, some can handle it perfectly fine but some of us are stuck, does not know what to do, how to react, how to think and some just give up. Often times when we encounter major problems we think that there's no solution to it, we sometimes panic, we tend to over think, we get scared and sometimes we lose hope.

Smoking kills, but many of us still smoke cigarettes though. Why do we smoke? Well because first of all it is addicting, it contains  nicotine   that acts on the brain to produce to a  number effects which are pleasant to smokers. Another thing is that it is fun to smoke, rewarding and it kills boredom.Some have started smoking while they are still young, some have tried it out of curiosity and got addicted to it and find it hard to stop.  Yes it's hard to quit smoking but it's possible. I've seen a lot of people who have done it, it takes a lot of working to do and it takes commitment. There will be setbacks but setbacks are just stepping stone, if you smoke 2 packs of cigarette and you try to stop and cut it down to 1 and a half pack for a few days and back to 2 packs a day again, It means you have tried and  it was a success for a couple of days. You did not fail, You just have to do it again and again until you finally can quit. Here are some ...
