Meditations on God

Pay attention to the people who are happy when you are happy.

There are a lot of different versions of this saying.

What they all have in common is the idea that you should be mindful of who is and is not supportive of your success.

But this type of thinking only leads to bitterness, resentment, and self pity.

It is an attitude of victimhood disguised as wisdom that will not lead to greater success, happiness, or contentment.

You have no way of knowing what someone is thinking, why they do what they do, or what they are going through, which may have nothing to do with you.

Live your life as you see fit, seek happiness and success for their own sake, and find a peace in yourself that is unaffected by the ever-changing world around you.
