When your voice says:

“Their success means I’ve failed.”

“There’s only so much success to go around, and they got it.”

Coach Lynn says:

Another person’s success can stir up longing or grief, but it does not erase your value or your possible next steps.

Then you say:

Here’s what I need to do:

- Take one or more [Composure Breaths](https://www.dailycomposure.com/what-is-a-composure-breath/) to settle my body.
- Finish this sentence: "Seeing their success makes me want \_\_\_."
- Name one small step toward that this week, such as signing up for a class, reaching out to someone, or setting aside time.
- Remind myself: "Their win shows me what's possible. It says nothing about my worth."

Coach Lynn says:

Someone else's success doesn't dim yours. When you let it show you what you want, envy turns into direction and you take your own next step with confidence.
