I am sure there are times when you had a friend or were in a relationshp when this person came to you excited about some great news they received. Let me ask you...What was your first impression. Were you immediately happy or was there a sense of being left behind involved. When faced with this situation either of those emotions can and will arise. Even if you first thought was to be upset and upset that you may be left in the dust there is something you can do to squash that feeling and be genuinely happy for you friend. You can raise the bar on what you want to accomplish. Set your standard just a little higher so that when you reach your goals and dreams you might even surpass them in them in the process. Your attitude is what will hold you back or catipult you forward. Iti important t communicate (discretely may add) your excitement and how thi news has encouraged you. In this senario there can only end up a win win result. So think about the next ime you hear of great news from someone. Are you going to use it as an anchor to hld you back or a engine to carry you forward.
