Tearing Other People Down Will Never Make You Happy

Life is not about tearing other people down. It is not about making other people feel terrible about themselves. It is not about bringing other people down, taking what belongs to them. It is not about thinking negative thoughts about other people.

Life is about loving people. It is about showing them the way. It is about accepting them for who they are, not for what they can do for you.

If you want to get ahead in your own life, tearing other people down won’t get you there.

If you want to be happy in your life, beating other people down won’t get you there.

If you want to get better at what you are doing, tearing other people down won’t do it for you. Instead, it will make you even weaker.

If you want other people to love you, to follow you, to accept you for who you are, don’t tear them down.

That is life! If you don’t love them, they won’t love you. If you don’t care about them, they won’t care about you.

Before you go, remember this: If you want to go far in your life, you have got to learn how to carry other people along. You have got to lift other people up. Why?

Because no one is good enough to know everything.
