Morning Thought (Patreon)

If you can't be happy for others, you've probably got some shit to work on.

I know when I'm feeling down, I often get selfish. Not in a "all these potato chips are mine" type of way, but more in an obsessed with my own thoughts type of way. 

It's hard to be happy for others when you're feeling low -- you're in your own head and you're protecting your own ego.

So, perhaps "being happy for others" is a good mental metric, an indicator of our happiness and success. If we're cheering people on, if we get enjoyment out of seeing others around us succeed, then perhaps we're actually in a pretty damn good place.
