Their Success Inspires Ours
Our focus this week — Sep 3–9: “Goodwill”
Today’s MotD: Their Success Inspires Ours. Another reason why we’re encouraged to express goodwill towards others’ success, is that it can inspire us to go after our own success…if we let it. I touched on this in yesterday’s post. That if we are open to seeing other people succeed, especially at something we’re interested in doing as well, it can motivate us to go after it too.
Or…we could go the other route where we become resentful, envious, or even angry at other people’s success and where does that get us ? The other people still succeeded and were left wallowing in our own stew. How does that help us ? [spoiler alert: it doesn’t]
It behooves us to not only wish them well at their success but learn from them. We can ask them how they did it ? Or do some research on how others did it ? Then we can test out some of what we’ve learned and grow from there.
How about you ? Is there someone you know who’s been successful at something that inspires you to go after your own goal(s) ? What about someone who’s successful at doing what you want to do ? What characteristic(s) of successful people inspire(s) you to move forward ?
BTW…Here’s the before…the front and back view of today’s puzzle piece and the pretty ceramic box that holds all my numbers from which I randomly choose each day’s puzzle piece number:
Peace & Blessings,

ABOUT THE 2025 Mandalas of the Day
Throughout the year, I’ll be building one large (48”x48”) Tibetan-styled Mandala one piece at a time…one puzzle piece at a time, that is. The mandala design and the reversed puzzle side were printed on artist-quality watercolor paper. The forward facing puzzle side was printed on a 48”x48” wood panel.
Each day, at random, I’ll be painting in watercolors one of the 365 watercolor puzzle pieces, that by the end of the year will become Archangel Mandala #4. Read more about the Archangel Series. The word/message for each piece will be inspired by Melody Beattie’s book “52 Weeks of Conscious Contact”.
Ultimately, the message of this mandala is about how we are all uniquely part of the one.
