Every emotion that we feel as human beings tells a story. We dismiss the so called negative emotions at our own expense. There are many things that we can learn from emotions like jealousy. The following are not hidden mysteries but they can help you to overcome the feeling;
Number 1: Jealousy is a story about your vision
You are not focusing on what you are supposed to be doing. You are watching other people write their stories and are not concentrating on making your own dreams come true. You are so obsessed with what other people are doing you have developed a "critical spirit".
Your energy is used up to find things that people are doing wrong so that you might feel better about yourself. If you were pursuing your own goals you will not have the time or the energy to feel envious of what other people are achieving.
Number 2: Jealousy is a story about your psyche
You feel inadequate and are not confident about you own capacity to achieve your goals. It means that you need to search your heart to understand what cause the feelings of inadequacy.
When you have a better understanding of your emotions you will be able to understand your motivations. This means feelings of inadequacy will be a thing of the past.
Number 3: Jealousy is a story about your perception of reality
You desire to succeed but you do not know how to use the abilities you have and you do not have the stamina to persevere. Success is not an overnight experience; most people have to work hard consistently before they see their work bearing fruit. But when you are jealous you only see the end result of another person's experience. However, when you understand their story and what they have had to endure in order to succeed you might feel motivated to pursue your own goals.
When you see things clearly you are unlikely to feel jealous about the other person but you are guaranteed to be inspired by their story and it will help to move from being a spectator to being a participant in life.
Number 4: Jealousy tells the story of your life
You have no expectation of getting good things that is why you are jealous. Maybe you have had to endure difficulty with no one to encourage you and to give you hope. You became cynical and expected that things will go wrong. Granted things go wrong sometimes but you do not need to give up.
The stories that inspire people are stories of people who have overcome challenges and if you want the glory then you have to overcome the challenges of your circumstances. The story of your life becomes remarkable and inspiring because you have worked at finding solutions by using the gifts you have to encourage not only yourself but other people around you.
Number 5: Jealousy tells the story of misdirected passion.
When jealousy is the emotion that arises when you see your peers and competitors succeed you are misdirecting your passion. You do have the desire to succeed thus you should focus on finding ways to make your own dreams to come true. Learn from those who have succeeded and do not waste time feeling sorry for your self or wishing for their successes to evaporate so that they can be as miserable as you are. Instead work on your own so that they will be more joy and remarkable stories to share.
Jealousy is just an emotion that tells you that you are off track so you can learn from it or you can be destroyed by it.
The choice is entirely yours.
