Nollywood star Adesua Etomi-Wellington has shared her perspective on how to approach the success of others.

In an Instagram story, the mother of two encouraged people to see encounters with those who are wealthier, more skilled, or further along in life as opportunities for personal growth rather than competition.

According to Naija News, Etomi-Wellington described being surrounded by people who excel in different areas as a privilege and a source of inspiration. She advised that such experiences should serve as motivation for self-improvement instead of breeding insecurity.

The actress who is married to singer and politician Banky W emphasized that keeping company with disciplined and accomplished individuals creates valuable learning opportunities.

She urged her followers to draw strength and encouragement from others’ achievements, writing:

“Smarter, more accomplished, more talented, more disciplined, richer, wiser, etc = blessing. Not threat.”
