late night thoughts: you can tell a lot about someone based on how often they celebrate the wins of other people.

Not uplifting others is a really sad way to live. I have found that when I celebrate others, people are even more inclined to celebrate me FOR celebrating others.

Most importantly, you bring joy to someone who otherwise wasn't expecting it. Bitterness ain't cute.

There is something very ugly about only celebrating your achievements and no one else's. It's just not a great way to move and you start comparing yourself to others.

I sincerely believe that one of the best feelings in the world is sharing in the joy of someone else.

I will go so far to say there is some kind of healing and restoration that happens when we share in the happiness of someone else. It is a liberating feeling and one that I feel makes you feel like you're apart of something bigger.

This is the foundation I stand on honestly.

And let me be real: I definitely compare myself sometimes to people I celebrate. It's hard out here in these social media streets.

But when I take a step back and really assess their joy and make the decision to share in it rather than fight against it, I am liberated.

So what's the takeaway? Ask yourself if you are doing all you can to celebrate others. Ask yourself if your TL/page is only about you or if you are also uplifting others.

There is joy in shared joy. When we share the stage, the stage becomes bigger, better, and more impactful!

There is always space for one more so make space for one more.

That is all I have. /end thoughts
