Celebrating with friends / Celebrando con los amigos (eng-esp)

Greetings, friends.

We usually rejoice whenever something good happens to us. However, why not be happy for the achievements of our friends? I believe that those who rejoice in their own achievements and those of their friends double their happiness. This isn't an ideal; it's a practical and better way to live.

First, we must understand something basic: the achievements of our friends don't take away any of our own opportunities.

Their advancement, their success, their good news, doesn't diminish our own chances in any way. Not rejoicing, or worse, allowing it to bother us, is an act of tremendous selfishness and immaturity. Thinking that way is like thinking that happiness is a limited pie, and that if they get a piece, we'll have less.
That's a scarcity mindset that only breeds resentment and isolates you. The reality is that joy multiplies when it's shared.

By sharing in the joy of a friend's achievement, we're also celebrating for ourselves. Why? Because in a way, we're involved.

We witnessed their effort, their doubts, their attempts. We listened to their complaints, offered advice, or were simply there for them. When they succeed, that success also carries a bit of our support. Celebrating it validates the journey they've taken, a journey we partly shared. Denying ourselves that joy is like denying a part of our shared history.

Therefore, the right thing to do is not to wish our friends weren't successful, to envy their position, or to minimize their merit.
The right and healthy thought should be to want to be as successful as, or even more successful than, them, using them as inspiration, not as rivals. Their success proves that it's possible.
It should motivate us to strive harder, to follow our path with greater determination. A successful friend is not a shadow, but a light that can also illuminate our journey.

Finally, we must always look for a reason to be happy. Life already provides enough reasons for the opposite. A friend's achievement is always a clear and pure reason for happiness.

It costs nothing, it requires no effort on your part other than choosing a positive attitude. Embrace that moment as if it were your own. Call them, congratulate them sincerely, toast to them.

By doing so, you not only strengthen your friendship, but you also train your own heart to find joy in the good fortune of others. And such a heart becomes lighter and, in time, receives much more joy in return.



Saludos, amigas.

Normalmente nos alegramos cada vez que nos sucede algo bueno. Sin embargo, ¿por qué no ser felices por los logros de los amigos? Creo que aquel que se alegra por sus logros y por el de sus amigos, duplica su felicidad. Esto no es un ideal, es una forma práctica y mejor de vivir.

Primero, debemos entender algo básico: los logros de nuestros amigos no nos quitan ninguna posibilidad a nosotros.
Su ascenso, su éxito, su buena noticia, no reduce en nada nuestras propias oportunidades. No alegrarnos, o peor, permitir que nos moleste, es un acto de tremendo egoísmo y de inmadurez.
Pensar en eso, es pensar que la felicidad es un pastel limitado, y que si a ellos les toca un pedazo, a nosotros nos queda menos.
Esa es una mentalidad de escasez que solo genera resentimiento y te aísla. La realidad es que la alegría se multiplica cuando se comparte.

Al compartir la alegría del logro de un amigo, estamos celebrando también por nosotros. ¿Por qué? Porque de cierto modo, somos partícipes.
Fuimos testigos de su esfuerzo, de sus dudas, de sus intentos. Escuchamos sus quejas, dimos algún consejo, o simplemente estuvimos ahí. Cuando triunfan, ese éxito también lleva un poco de nuestro apoyo.
Celebrarlo es validar el camino recorrido, que en parte compartimos. Negarse a esa alegría es como negar una parte de la propia historia compartida.

Por eso, lo correcto no es desear que nuestros amigos no sean exitosos, envidiar su lugar o minimizar su mérito.
El pensamiento correcto y saludable debe ser querer ser tanto o más exitosos que ellos, usándolos como inspiración, no como rivales. Su éxito demuestra que es posible.
Debe motivarnos a esforzarnos más, a seguir nuestro camino con más determinación. Un amigo exitoso no es una sombra, es una luz que puede iluminar también nuestro trayecto.

Por último, siempre tenemos que buscar un motivo para ser felices. La vida ya tiene suficientes motivos para lo contrario. Un logro de un amigo siempre es un motivo claro y puro de felicidad.
No cuesta nada, no requiere esfuerzo propio más que el de elegir una actitud positiva. Abraza ese momento como si fuera tuyo. Llámalo, felicítalo con sinceridad, brinda por él.
Al hacerlo, no solo fortaleces su amistad, sino que entrenas tu propio corazón para encontrar alegría en el bien ajeno. Y un corazón así, se vuelve más ligero y recibe, con el tiempo, mucha más alegría de vuelta.
