Your success or failure (in life) will be determined by how you handle provocation, jealousy, and envy. Provocation is an action or speech that makes someone angry; especially deliberately. With that being said, have you ever been provoked by someone? Has someone ever told you that you can’t do this or do that? Has someone ever told you that you’re not smart enough? If so, how did that make you feel? Did it stop you or did it fuel you? I don’t know about you, but when someone tells me “I can’t”, I have to figure out a way to get it done. Also, when someone is doing better than me, it also fuels me to do better. When you’re attacked with provocation, or jealousy, or envy, you can either get bitter or get better. You have to make a choice.
