One precious activity when time is at my side is to listen to stories about people. And recently I had the pleasure of hearing the sharing of a friend. Her story's gist is that she was unlucky to have people in her life who were unsupportive of her goals and dreams. She doesn't feel accepted and welcomed in their lives. However, instead of doing the exact negative thing, what she manifested to them was humility and kindness.

Yes, the finest form of revenge is at times being better---killing them with kindness, success and a smile. In her case, nothing frustrates her haters more than seeing her thrive. It clearly sounds like she might be dealing with some resentful and jealous people. Its logical to feel that sometimes but it can also be an opportunity to reflect- why does her success or even just herself bothers them. However, instead of being down and frustrated, she utilized it as a driving force to level up in her own way.
Furthermore, frustration can be a motivation for success. Personally, I also believe on that frustration, when channeled positively, can be a powerful driving force. It can push people to work harder, prove themselves, and refine their gifts. Many successful people, including my friend, have used setbacks, criticism or even jealousy as energy to arrive new heights. The key is turning that negative energy such as jealosy to motivation and action instead of letting it consume you.
P.S.- Heaps of thanks to my friend, Theresa, for trusting me to hear her story.
