In this episode of The Courage to Live Podcast, Josh Bitsko explains why learning to feel genuine joy for other people is one of the most important skills you can build for your relationships and your own mental health. Josh breaks down why happiness for others does not always come naturally and how comparison, insecurity, and stress can get in the way.
He talks about how celebrating someone else’s success is like building a muscle. When you practice it, you train your mind to see good things instead of slipping into competition or resentment. This simple habit can lift your mood, strengthen trust, and deepen the connections that matter most.
Josh shares how true encouragement creates strong teams, healthy friendships, and supportive families. He also explains how bitterness grows when we do not practice this skill and how choosing joy for others can keep you grounded and positive even on the hard days.
If you want a healthier mindset and stronger relationships, this episode offers a clear and meaningful way to start.
