Other people’s achievement makes us feel bad about ourselves because we do not have the right goals.

We often set the goal that we have to reach a particular point. We always give a full stop to our success.

But is there any full-stop? Is there any finish line? Does life stop when you achieve whatever you desire to achieve?

So life constantly demands from you. Even if you achieve what your friends have, life will continuously ask what’s next?

The Goal Should Be This to Avoid Jealousy

When you say that you want to achieve what your friend has or have more than your friend, you limit your potential.

There is no limit to what you can earn and do with your life.

Your potential is infinite.

So why are you limiting yourself? Your goal should be this: How far can I go?

You constantly ask yourself how much you can push yourself forward? What potential is it inside me that I haven’t reached yet?

Your goal should be to discover how far a human being can push himself? That is a healthy goal.
