Don't get mad, Do Better!
“Don’t get mad, don’t get even, do better! Do much better, rise above, Become so engulfed in your own success that you forget it ever happened”
:- live life happy
This quote resonates with me because it encourages me not to allow anger to dictate my mood or the goals I set in life. In times of adversity, digging into tasks that amplify my own success always yields great results because the pain serves as valuable fuel.
For example, revenge takes time and effort. Even with a successful attempt of revenge, it doesn’t guarantee vindication. Your time is better used building your future, because whatever has happened to make you upset instantly becomes the past as soon as it has happened.
Once something has happened there is nothing you can do to reverse the effects of it happening. i.e. if someone disappoints you, the fact that you initially felt that dissatisfaction has already taken effect. The point is to use that feeling of dissatisfaction to remind you how not to behave and who not to have in your circle.
In life there will always be people or situations that try to hinder your progress. Your job is to make sure that doesn’t happen. These distractions can come in the form of relationships, family, friends and definitely adversaries.
The time you use to retaliate is time taken away from your forward motion. So ask yourself, is this worth wasting my time? Or should you double down on making you and your loved ones lives more comfortable?
When it’s all said and done, the best revenge is actually success! So it’s a win win situation. Elevate yourself and let them see you win! 🫡
