The Other Face of Success
Success is not safe. If we do our job well, our peers resent us. If we are promoted, our fellow workers or office mates sometimes get mad at us. If we’re talented, hardworking and honest we become successful, but some of our friends are envy of us and may want to stab us in our back.
This situation starts in our early age. Brothers and sisters compete with each other. If our parents price one of their children for a special accomplishment, do some or the other kids rejoice? Perhaps they do once in a while but more often our brothers or sisters often feel envious. They want to make themselves look better than other siblings by trying to look better than the others. Yes, this often happen to some of the families especially if they have their brothers and sisters with them and this cannot be avoided sometimes.
I wish I could say that when we outgrow this envy as we get older, but all too often it gets worse. In office or any other business establishments of every kind success is not safe. If we will work hard and are extremely productive, others feel they look bad and they don’t like it. The greater the achievements we have the nastier the attacks. So, how do we deal for and how we can aim for excellence if there people who are doing such thing to us?
A far better response though is to aim excellence and so the right things, no matter how other people react. Be the kind of person we are that God wants us to be. This is the best way to go, the only way to a true success, but it won’t be easy. Life in the work place can be hard, hurtful and downright scary sometimes. Some people may resent us and try to bring us down. In fact, we might be safer in a den of lions than in a workplace or with people that has full of envious rivals.
