Sometimes we tend to forget how to be grateful with our own plate, how to appreciate what we have because we were busy looking at others plate. Then comparison will take over our system and we will be craving to achieve what others have instead of focusing on our own plate.

We are humans, it's normal that we will experience to get jealous, envy to others success or wish to get what others have, it's not a crime and we are entitled to feel that. When did those feelings get wrong then? It's when it overpowered your positive attitude and your system was eaten by those negative emotions. It's when you forget to be sensitive, enjoy what you do and be grateful for what you have.

Have I never been jealous with others?

Of course I did, I am not hypocrite and I will not deny that. I was once an insecure and suffered inferiority complex. I tend to compare myself to others and belittle myself, I see myself back then as worthless that is why I didn't experience to have an easy going life. That I am not deserving to be successful, that I am just a piece of crap and nothing more. I didn't see any good about me, neither potential.

But I did try my best to overcome it, every time I saw beggars and homeless people I've come to my sense that I am way better than them because I was able to feed myself 3x a day, there's a roof that covers me from the heat of the sun and protect me when there is a storm. That I have a room to sleep comfortably.

Did those negativity fade away now?

Of course it still around the corner and lingers on me whenever there are things that triggers it.

Especially here on read.cash, I am not hypocrite not to admit I sighed whenever I saw others article has decent amount of tips while mine has nothing. Whenever I saw others rejoicing with their goal achievements, I sighed and wish I could have what they have too.

I am not always motivated, I felt demotivated too seeing sometimes my effort is not being rewarded right after I made it.

But have you seen me whining?

Maybe yes, or maybe no. I am not fan of complaining, yes I felt envy and jealous but as much as possible I will do my best to divert it with other positive things.

I will console and tell myself “Naah, you are still awesome and great just the way you are, even if you don't have what they have”.

That is why most of my article instead of speculating things or making hard and wrong guesses, I will divert it with positivity and motivation. It is not all meant for my readers but for myself as well, to remind me whenever I forget how to be motivated.

I still keep my ass of going, because writing is one of my passion. This is also the reasons why I don't pressure myself setting a lot of goals, I don't want to forget the fun because of focusing too much on achieving goals, and I cannot cope up much because I have also a lot of responsibility in my real world. After all, achieving crypto goal is not a competition. But I am happy for others success, they inspired me. If they can achieve their goals why not me right?

Some of my beliefs to overcome negativity

I believe we all have different time to shine. Sometimes some people will be successful first for us to get inspired with them and not to get envy with what they have. As long as we don't give up and let negativity capture us, we will have our own story to be told one day. Let's just focus on our own way and not with others because we might face some uncertainties along the way if we lose our focus.

Actually it's not about how much we achieve something but it's about our satisfaction with what we achieve. No matter how high we soar if we will never be satisfied with what we have, we will never appreciate any success.

Epic Note

This is the other side of me writing, to remind the other me how to be grateful and patient. I have two faces, me as the protagonist of my story and the other me is the villain.

Kinda hard to determine it? No. I just practice self awareness to recognize the two faces in me.

It's okay to look at others plate but never neglect what you have. Enjoy your meal and have a nice day!

Ciao amigo's and amigas!
