Episode 93: Stop Envying Successful People - Learn From Them

What happens when someone else is succeeding and you feel yourself becoming jealous?In this short episode of The Life Dojo Podcast, Michael and Marcus discuss envy, jealousy and the “crab in a barrel” mentality that causes people to pull others down rather than concentrating on their own progress.Instead of resenting someone who is further ahead, Michael argues that there is a much more useful question to ask:How did they get there and what can I learn from them?The conversation explores how unresolved pain can turn into envy, why pride can stop us learning from other people, and why another person's success does not have to threaten your own.You do not need to sabotage someone else's journey to advance yours.Study success. Learn from it. Then build your own.This clip is taken from the full-length episode The Battle for Truth: What’s Really Controlling Your Life (Part 1). Listen to the complete episode for the wider conversation on human behaviour, influence, personal growth and self-mastery.If you're looking to build greater discipline, resilience, confidence and direction in your own life or would like to bring The Life Dojo into your school or organisation visit thelifedojo.com.Learn to Master Life.
