Do you support and celebrate the success of those around you?
Do you surround yourself with those that are supportive of your success?
In your circle of friends,
Who is the most successful?
Who supports the others the most?
I am not the only one talking about stuff like this.
A recent podcast - OPERATION TANGO ROMEO episode 173 (Let go of the haters) hits on this point - find the same kind of people that you want to be like, surround yourself with them to celebrate their success as much as they would celebrate your success with you.
Too many people in todays society, will find ways to be negative about how you celebrate your success.
They are not relevant to you.
Mark points out - you are most likely in balance with the 5 closest people in your circle. Choose those 5 carefully.
This thought was also re-enforced on a complete different podcast - The VTwin Life podcast - Milepost 44 . In this podcast, Denver was chatting with Bry the Biker and Setzerpendance. Together they were talking about the great positivity shown by another member of the YouTube community, and how he was celebrating the success of many other channels. He goes by the handle Harley Fatboy Jr.
YouTube can be full of hate with many content creators using negativity to try and garner views. This podcast episode takes a different approach and discussion about how everyone can do better at supporting others, and what a great feeling people have about the positive that flows from him.
It also is mentioned in the latter stages of a 2020 episode of Tools For the Toolbox.
This wasn't the first time this concept had come up in my readings or listening. One of the other people I follow - Andy Frisella has talked about it before in his "AndyGrams", Celebrate Other Peoples wins with them.
Many times people find that negativity is the easier path to take. Of course, celebrating the success of those around you might seem like you are promoting those that are doing better than you to greater success.
But, if you surround yourself with those that will succeed, and want you to succeed, you want to feed that circle. You will be an average of the people around you - so do you want to drag that average down, or help push it up.
If you don't feed the circle, you will find yourself outside it as the others celebrate their successes.
Many people have challenges finding that circle, or promote success within a circle. Which is a topic for another day.
Negativity is a problem. and it breeds.
Here is a video I made, kinda stating the same thing.
