Simon Sinek: Why FRIENDSHIP Is The Key To Your Abundance & Success

You need to come to the office. Yeah, exactly. They called your office, so is it. They just told you the office. We know where the kid is all day. Number one and number two, there's not emergencies. It's parents just calling and say, what time do you want me to pick you up? And so let the kids keep their phones in their lockers. I think they should. But there should be no phones in a classroom.

None. They should be banned. It's parents who are the big offenders. It's crazy. You know, I need to get ahold of my kid in case there's an emergency. How many emergencies you having per week? No, none. One a year? Maybe. If you're lucky or unlucky?

If you're insecure about something, you will find yourself feeling competitive with your friends. And I think that that is more a sign of something you're going through. We've all been there. I've definitely been competitive with friends. Really? Sure, of course. It's because I'm not in a good space. And their success is reminding me of the thing that I'm struggling with.

So are you a good friend if you're competing with your friend? I think you're a good friend if you're open with your friend what you're going through. Hey, can I talk to you for a minute? I'm going through some stuff and I'm having feelings that are making me real uncomfortable. Like I'm getting jealous of your success and that's screwed up because I'm so proud of you and so happy for you.

Can I just talk to you about what I'm going through in my life? Because I don't think I'm in a good place if I'm having that feeling. You know, jealousy is a feeling like happy, sad, angry. And, you know, it's the same thing in relationships. Usually when we feel jealous, what we do is we demand that our partner change their behavior so we don't have to do insecurities. Right? Like, how dare you?

How dare you talk to your ex? How dare you look at that pretty barista? And so they're forcing you to change your behaviors they don't have to do. As opposed to, hey, babe, I got really jealous when you called your ex. And I know you guys have been friends long before you met me. Can I just talk it through with you? I think I'm going through some stuff. Can you just hear me out for a little bit?

Now, then you may say, you know what? I'm going to talk to her less because I want to be supportive on you and your journey. But that's your choice to change your behavior in support of your partner. Yes. Uh, but I think it's the same in work stuff. The ability to understand that jealousy is a feeling, and it's your feeling. And you need to be able to deal with your and your insecurities.
