Failures Celebrate Other People’s Failures

This week I made a minor fuck up. Nothing too dramatic, just a minor one.
I sent one the last Alpha Reboot post out to my other Twitter, account for my copywriting work.
Epic Content, if you’re interested.
No big deal, right?
Had I Walked Naked Into a Big Meeting?
Well you would think I had walked into a meeting stark naked the way some people on Twitter reacted.
It reinforced a point I already knew.
Only failures celebrate other people’s failures.
We all fuck up, it happens.
Sometimes it’s bigger than others and I can tell you I have done far more serious shit than sending a Tweet to the wrong crowd before.
But the way some people seized on that and made it their star social media tweet of the day…
I take it as a compliment that I can have an impact on their lives like that.
Conor Had A Word On This
It also made me think back to a time when an interviewer was trying to get Conor McGregor to launch in on Jon Jones, who had just been suspended for drugs and a few other felonies.
I’m a successful man. I don’t celebrate other people’s misfortune,” Conor McGregor.
There’s so much truth to that phrase.
His proposed opponent, Rafael dos Anjos, had pulled out of fighting McGregor with a bruised foot of all things.
When McGregor lost to Nate Diaz, dos Anjos was the first to take to Twitter to tear him down.
I am sure he regrets it, in hindsight, because it made him look like a little bitch.
Successful People Build, Failures Tear Others Down
Successful people know that shit goes on, and they don’t take pleasure in other people’s disasters.
They certainly don’t try to rub it in their face and hold it up to the world so that everybody laughs at their hilarious joke.
They’re too busy focusing on building something of worth and anybody that has climbed the mountain has had to taste the dirt after a major wipeout along the way.
Failures Gossip, Failures Snipe
The only people that take the time to celebrate other people’s misfortune are the biggest fucking failures you will meet in life.
They are the insecure wrecks that have all but given up on themselves.
Probably the only way they get through the day without cutting themselves is to try and drag someone down to their broken level.
They’re the same people that sit and gossip. They’re the same people that cut everybody down to distract attention from their own personal trainwreck.
If They’re Talking About You, You’re Looking Down on Them
I used to be guilty of that myself.
I had the wrong friends, I had the wrong mindset and we used to sit and tear shreds off other people to convince ourselves we were cool.
Those people are a speck in the rear view mirror these days and the only things I hear are bad.
They were losers then and they are losers now.
Gossiping is A Red Flag of a Toxic Person
If you find yourself surrounded by low rent people of this caliber, then you need to change your friends.
Constant criticism and negativity is a toxic mindset that will drag you down if you let it.
These are people I look down on these days. Like these new people, that are soon to be removed from my social media presence.
But you better bet your ass, I’m going to send this one to the ‘wrong account’ first.
