The importance of rooting for others to succeed

From "Prudent Advice" by Jaime Morrison Curtis: "Root for other people. We all tend to envy other people's successes. It's not intentional; somewhere in our DNA, it seems to be programmed that for every success for someone else, there is one less success for us. … Of course, that is illogical. Fight off those thoughts; there is an unlimited amount of potential for everyone in this universe. Championing others is kind, and even more, it's a display of optimism that will seep into you and color your view of this life."
