Success brings it rewards of money and prestige. Success brings recognition of your achievements within your community, and a standing of excellence among your peers within your chosen profession or business. Success brings the respect and happiness of your loved ones and friends who have cheered you on through the hurdles to get to where you are today.
Resentment presents itself in many different forms.
Your success will, without a doubt, bring out the worst in many people in your life with whom you associate. It is a part of human nature that we tend to seek the approval of others. Many of us feel bad or guilty when we become aware that our friends and loved ones harbor feelings of resentment toward us. Now, all of a sudden, the achievements and successes that come from your hard work may not taste all that sweet to you anymore. The words, actions, and influence of others bring a bad taste instead of a sweet taste of success to you.
