One important aspect of being genuine friends is being happy when friends make something happen – when they start a new job, business or relationship, or when they change careers or make progress with something. In short, when they win.
There shouldn’t be any jealousy, envy or fake happiness.
When friends win, we all win because we are somehow involved in their process and journey. We know what the effort and hard work looked like before they got there. We see the before and after. We were there in some form and shape.
So let’s try to be happy when friends win. And let’s do it more often.
We all need more of this – friends who are happy when we win.
