Your progress can be other people’s progress; Your success can be other people’s success

By: Lourenz Jay Loregas

Seeing yourself progressing is such a great feeling, but would it be more pleasurable knowing that other people are also progressing because of you? 

I’m sure you have read or heard stories of other people's success. There are tons of those on any socmed platforms. Mostly are graduated students wearing their togas/graduation attire with a FAMAS-like caption of their success stories. Others are entrepreneurs sharing how they got their first car or house, people showing the before and after workout photos of their bodies and whatnot.

When you saw or heard their stories, what did you initially feel?

They aren't posting or showing these because they want to brag (as what it seems to other people) but rather mainly because they want to inspire other people. They believe that their progress and success might motivate other people to do the same thing that they did expecting the same result.

On top of that, if you are capable of inspiring other people, then do what you can to help them grow. Tell them how you made it. Tell them how you surpassed each struggle and hardships. Share them with the learnings that you have attained with your experience. In that way, your success might help other people to also succeed.
