What can we do when our envious neighbors aren't happy about our Success?

Question:

Hello, I have a question that may be a little unusual. My husband and I started a business ten years ago and, until recently, it was more or less a struggle. Then we managed to make a big breakthrough, which is having a big impact on our financial situation. As a result, we have renovated our house, bought a few luxurious things, including an expensive car.

Unfortunately, we have noticed that our success is having a very negative effect on some of our friends. Even though we work from morning to night and have earned it all ourselves, they are not happy for us.

Some of them are very obviously negative with their words, which hurts us. I would like to ask you how to protect yourself from this negative energy? I believe that such negative energy can be harmful.

Thank you very much for your advice.

Answer:

I appreciate your question. In life, basically, things should in theory develop in parallel. This means that our business progress is a result of our personal progress.

All successful people know that their business can only grow as much as they grow themselves.

This is also true for you. I believe that you have achieved success through hard work, but you must realize that hard work is only one side of development and success, otherwise you will burn out after a while.

As we work on ourselves and grow, it is natural that our goals and our views become different from those of our friends and the people around us. That is when we have to redefine our relationships.

If you want to move forward in life, then you can only take with you people who support you, encourage you and are with you in your development.

It is said that it is in adversity that we discover who our friends are. This is not true. We find out who our true friends are in our happiness. Few people around us can embrace our success, rejoice with us and wish us well.

In short, it will be necessary to take a little inventory and change your circle of friends. If you are developing and growing personally, this is a natural process.

"Friends" and people who do not support us just fall away because we no longer have time for them, and we become too different.

I said they fall away. It is not like what we read in various articles, that you have to make a list of people who do not support you and break up with them. That is nonsense.

When you are working on yourself, when you are on the path of your success, you do not have time to deal with these things. You don't have time to worry about how someone looks at you and what they think.

You know. If you deal with every barking dog along your journey, you don't get very far. And maybe you will need help for this transition and this new way of life, a coach to guide you and help you set the right foundations.

And again. When you know what you want and where you are going, you are in a hurry, and you don't have time for people who don't want to be with you, who don't find your path attractive and who don't have the same interests.

You just move on. Sometimes such a path is more lonely, but still. It is better to be alone and to know where you are going than to be in a crowd and to stand still.

And good luck and have a successful journey!
