Happiness in the Success of Others



Happiness in the Success of Others

By: JM Cabato


"You're such a failure." "look at other people." "they are now winning with their life." 


Have you ever felt the feeling of being left behind by your friends and colleagues who are already succeeding with the path they take? 


You probably think that you're not good enough to be like them which tends for you to believe that life is not fair towards you. 


 "Why do other people get to be at that level and not me?"


You probably think that you are supposed to be at that level and not them. 


As we see others succeeding, we become more competitive to the point that we try to compete with them just to prove that you are good, skillful and much hardworking than them. Aren't you tired of competing just to prove something? 


It's good that we have competitiveness in ourselves but have you thought of the reason for this is envy, that is why even if we want to, it is hard for us to be happy for others success.


Do not let your greed and jealousy eat you.These behavior will grow on us before we even realize to the point where we cannot control it anymore and this, if not taken seriously will just affect our quality of life. Why not just be happy for them? And learn from their success. Other people feel happy for the success of others, so can you.


The happier you are with other people's success, the more blessed you will become.

Here is to Those Who Think They Are Just Mediocre

  Here is to Those Who Think They Are Just Mediocre By Gabrielle A. Palma Just average . Terms that are usually coined with our names. Not actually digging deeper to the struggles and successes beyond the hands that overwork, mind that overthinks and heart that over-understands. Surviving in a setting where everyone is fed up with such high expectations. People often perceive any work should come out best, if not, better. We always tend to unconsciously neglect what is just good. Because honestly, sometimes it gets tiring to overachieve when you know for a fact that it is not always a matter of exceeding something but just being enough.  To those who think they are mediocre, you are not. You are just waiting for the moment—your right time, your right place, and your right path. Sometimes, the booze and galore in every drink just do not make sense and make the situation even more chaotic. It is okay to just pour a little bit and then just fill it again when empty.  To thos...

Forgotten Vows of the Carabaos

Forgotten Vows of the Carabaos By: Gabrielle A. Palma   Stinking smell that lingers in the nose as the tears are dripping rapidly from the eyes. The heart is slowly shattering as the feet unhurriedly walk towards the awful corner. In her arms, there lies an existence—a wonderful one. Yet vanishes and expires as she rests it on the surface. Drifted away and suddenly, “Ay! Tae ng kalabaw.” Stepped on the disgusting thing coated with nasty guilt. Beside, is a child—abandoned and forgotten.  Living in a twisted system ruled by various oppressors, life of the poor in the Philippines, is indeed a deprived one. Leaving every decision and fate with no choice, but to pull everything about them just to survive even if it means scratching a part of their dignity and principle.  This is where the circumstance of child abandonment enters the discourse lay upon the table. As the pressing issues continue to surge such as poverty that leads to a financial problem, broken marriage, and te...

WHO IS THE REAL WINNER IN LIFE? By: Wei Won People may laugh at you along the way, People may refuse to help you because they believe that you cannot return the help they’ll give, People may humiliate you for being nobody, People may treat you like you did wrong to them, People may pull you down, You may feel drowning in a part of a sea where no one else is able to help you, Your relatives may don’t consider you as their relative,  Your friends might lose their interest in you, You may lose your loved one, You may feel despondent, You may engulf by darkness, You may want to end your life,  You may want to give up, But before you do that, you need to read this! Dark moments in life are inevitable and that’s normal - we all go through that way. You are not alone in this battle, again, you are not alone. We all struggle and suffer from the pain caused by the toxic people in our environment. Never punish yourself just because people are making you feel that you’ve done wrong to th...
