How do you keep your head up when it seems like everyone doing good but you?

Dont compare yourself to others because you dont really know what they are going through. Plus, you need to be ready for the things you desire. Maybe your not ready yet.

i just keep my head down all the time. i'm not really worried about how everyone else is doing. i mean, at times i do get pissed when i see people bullshyt and succeed, that's probably the only thing that grinds my gears. but, as for everyone else doing well and me not doing well, i use their success as inspiration. i've kind of always been like that though. when i see people around me being highly successful, it's always pushed me to try harder. that's not to say i'll achieve the same things but, at the end of the day, you won't regret trying to improve your situation regardless of the outcome. so, during times when i'm not doing so well, i just focus more on myself instead of looking at others...

I feel ya champ, but what if you are the impetus/ reason for their success? It's hard to not feel some sort of way. Let me example further.

For years, I have had a side hustle of revamping/ improving fellow coworkers' resume (for a fee of course:lolbron:) so they could get a better job. Time passes. It is rewarding yet frustrating to witness your friends getting better jobs because of your improvements to what the HR rep sees.:shaq2::what: Further ether is when they come and tell you that without you they wouldn't have gotten the gig.

Yes, I am happy for them and not hating at all but :wow:

I feel karma will eventually circle and positive thoughts will impact my future.

Never envy, only aspire to do better. It just might not be your time right now to be on the level or above those that you feel are doing well for themselves. Thinking negative will only lead to complacency. Having a positive attitude and the will do better is the only way. What you want in life depends on the effort your willing to put in.
