Wishing Well for Others
It seems a lot easier said than done. You may think to yourself I don’t need to read this post I already wish well for everyone. However, do you really? It is easy to congratulate someone on a new chapter in their life, that job promotion, or their new relationship.
However, internally are you really just jealous and wishing that you were them and maybe even sending some negative thoughts their way?
When I first started modeling I would see these girl’s careers start off the bat with a massive debut show or immediately meeting with my dream clients. I was so frustrated that they had what I wanted, even when I wished them well internally I was sad just wanting to be them.
I was not able to master the skill of wishing well until a few years ago when internally I was happy with myself and knew that I was on my own path in life. I realized that my own path contains my own exciting times and memories that could be just around the corner.
No matter how well you master this skill you might find yourself spiraling out of real happiness for others when you hear certain news or things. However, we are human so this is normal. It is all about being nice to ourselves and realigning our minds to be happy with our own journey and ourselves again.
Everyone’s life has its own timeline and own story.
Some people get married at 25 and someone else might only find real love at 40. However, the person who marries at 25 could find herself divorced at thirty, while you wait till 40 but find your true soul mate for life. We all are ultimately on our own journey. When we can embrace this and love ourselves for not necessarily being where we wish to be in the present moment this is when life starts to fall together.
Self-acceptance is the key to good things beginning to flow into your life… when you can show gratitude for them and really appreciate them fully.
So, the message of today’s post is to wish others well not out of receiving praise for doing so or being jealous or insecure internally. Wish them well because you generally are happy for them and you would want others to be genuinely happy for you when it is your turn for an amazing moment in life to happen to you!
Keep pushing you are going to go far. Keep believing in yourself! You got this!
Much Love,
