You can clap for someone else without shrinking yourself. Applause isn’t a limited resource.

Somebody else doing well does not remove anything from you, though it can feel that way if you happen to be measuring yourself in the same moment. Being genuinely glad for a friend costs nothing and it protects something in you as well. The alternative is a life of small subtractions every time the news is good.

When the next win in your circle lands, say something specific about it within the hour. Not a like, an actual sentence. Then notice that your own work is exactly where you left it.
