What do you do when you meet people who are financially or economically in a better position than you? Let us all be honest here.. we sometimes compare ourselves to our peers and see if they are doing better than us. There are times where, whether it is good or not, we can tell they are doing better in life. Of course we do not know their struggles but we know that financially they are quite more comfortable than you.
In that case, should you try to fake your own situation as to not get pity or should you be honest? When I encounter people who are financially ahead than me I just think that it will be me someday... That I will reach that level too where I would be able to buy whatever they can. So basically I try to make them my inspiration. Do you take inspiration from the rich people or do they make you feel worse?
When you know yourself and your worth, there's no way you'll feel worse when you meet rich people or people doing better than you. There's also nothing better than being authentic, being yourself, loving your live and living it with your own terms. If you are one with inferiority complex and low self esteem you'll always feel like shite when you're with folks doing better than you. Finally, why do you fake it till you make it, when you can literally faith it, manifest it? The book " The Secret " reveals that being happy and grateful is the fastest way to get and manifest all you want, do that.
When i see someone who is economically and financially stable and he is in a better position than me, I won't feel bad or get jealous. Because that person must have worked very hard to be in that position.
In fact that person will serve as my motivator, because I will use his success as my motivation, and it will serve as an encouragement for me to work more harder in order to get to where the person is today. Beside what is the Essence of feeling jealous about what someone has, after knowing that he must have made some sacrifices and putting in some efforts, which you could also do in other to be in a position that is far better than his.
