What would happen if we took the time to really examine our genuine motivation behind the way we interact with others?
The things we do, the things we say, the way we feel toward them. All of these things, are we concerned with how we look compared to them? Are we able to congratulate them on new successes or happiness even if we get nothing for ourselves?
Forget about vocalizing a congratulation, are we able to feel genuine happiness inside for them?
Is our motivation kindness or concern for being the top-dog or at least looking like the top-dog?
Kindness lends toward a happy life for you and others. Concern for yourself lends itself to a life of anger, stress, and people having no respect for you.
So, what are our real motivations? Is it possible to work on changing them?
