Get really good at celebrating others
I get it, friend. Deeply. You’re watching seemingly everyone else living in blessings you’ve been praying for, and experiencing miracles you’re believing for. And it’s not just one friend. It’s like a good number of them at once. It’s the job promotions. It’s the engagements …
