Your Friend’s Success

One of my buddies
is positioned to break out big
as a writer.
This success WILL happen.
She has a great book,
the support of her publisher
and booksellers,
and awesome marketing.

I have a choice
— I can begrudge her
that success
or I can help her celebrate it,
take an active role
in supporting her.

Neither choice
will change her future.
She WILL be successful.
My reaction will have no bearing
on that.

Being bitter about that success
will do nothing
except make me and perhaps her
feel bad.

So I choose to be happy for her.
I feel great about that decision
and who knows?
Her success might help me.

Be happy for your friend’s success.
