Here is something to remind yourself, a quote that I loved and a question to ask yourself for this week…
Something to remind yourself…
“Not everyone is always rooting for you. And sometimes those people may be in your family. They may be in your close friends. And the thing is, is you find that people are more interested in your life or like you more when you’re feeling down and when you are at your worst. And they want to keep you there and they don’t want to see you thrive and they are constantly encouraging that behaviour of yours or those habits you’re trying to get out of, you know that they are not rooting for you… And in the same way, if you are someone who is constantly waiting for someone that you call your friend or someone that’s in your family to fail… You’re not wanting them to be the best version of themselves. You’re constantly waiting for them to slip up or do something wrong, so you can be right about who that you taught they were in your mind. In the same way you should really rethink if you should be calling them your friend or whether you should be considering them to be part of your family. Because that’s not a way to live. So if you do feel this about someone in your life, whichever side you’re on, maybe it’s time to take a step back and really clear the energy and really decide if you truly want them in your life. Because whoever you have in your life, they should want you to thrive and you should want them to thrive too. If you’re not looking for someone to be their best version and they don’t want you to be their best version, then there’s something wrong in that relationship. So, have a think. Who is rooting for you in your life and who is not? Who are you rooting for and who are you not rooting for. Decide on your close circle based upon that.” Love how Radhidesays this.
I.
Jealousy is a reflection, not a destination. When others project it onto you, don’t take it personally—it’s about them, not you. And if you ever feel it creeping in yourself, use it as a guide. Instead of resenting what someone else has, ask yourself: What does this trigger in me? What do I actually want? Let it inspire you, not limit you. There’s enough success to go around.
II.
Jealousy has no place in your life, whether it comes from others or from within yourself. If someone can’t celebrate your wins, pay attention. And if you ever find yourself resenting someone else’s success, ask yourself why. True confidence comes from knowing that someone else’s light doesn’t dim yours. Surround yourself with people who uplift, not compete. And be that person for others too.
A quote that I loved…
You can only stop repeating your past if you understand your past.

A question to ask yourself…
Who genuinely celebrates your wins and supports your growth? Who do you show up for in the same way? Your inner circle should be built on mutual support, not silent competition.
