“Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall; don’t be happy when they stumble.” – Proverbs 24:17
Life is not a zero sum game – at least not always. For you to win, it doesn’t mean that somebody has to lose. It’s ok that the competition is doing well – it will force you to improve, make better decisions, and provide a better result for your customers. It’s great that your friend is “living the dream.” Instead of being jealous, why don’t you work at improving your situation so that you could live the dream too?
Life is better when you’re trying to find win-win situations.
