Jealousy vs. Envy

Very rarely do I find myself in serious competition with others (mostly I’m just extremely competitive with myself).

I have a very competitive spirit, & sometimes I find myself envious of others about what they have or what they’ve accomplished; and what I’ve yet to accomplish or acquire.

However, along my own healing path, I’ve learned that whenever those feelings arise, I make sure to become curious about how someone has achieved something, rather than allow myself to stay angry, resentful or jealous.

Train yourself, just as I have, to get curious when you feel jealous & resentful of others about what they have or have accomplished. Train yourself to get curious about how they did it. And if you’re bold, ask them.

You might be surprised, & come to find out that when you approach people with curiosity & a genuine desire to learn, they’re often open to helping you achieve what they have.

People who’ve worked hard to create something in their life, are frequently receptive to teaching others, who are also committed & curious to achieve it for themselves.

Transform your jealousy into envy by getting curious. Jealousy separates us from others, while envy is an acknowledgment to others about what they’ve achieved, & to ourselves about what our hearts desire.
