What Jealousy (and envy) points out about You

We must all know what Jealousy is. I doubt there's anyone who hasn't had that feeling in his or her entire life. When this feeling is recognized and is under the control of the individual, it's more preferable, to having this feeling control one.

As I'll always say, everything can be viewed from the two sides of a coin, the positive and the negative side. One's ability to blend in both sides and turn both into one's advantage is Great!

What important stuffs does jealousy point out about a person?

If you always find yourself being jealous of other persons successes, or you tend to always feel less of yourself whenever you see or hear about the success of a friend, colleague, any other person; or you seem to put on a sort of unhealthy personal pressure that tends to want to make you surpass the success of another person whose achievement, you may be jealous (and envious) about... then you've got to check out yourself.

If you've got dreams, goals, a vision for your life, and you're constantly working on them, then it's less likely you're gonna get that jealous feeling. It's either you don't have this, or you actually do have them, but you're not making progress with them.

If you don't have, then you've got to find, search and discover your passion. Discover and understand your vision, set your goals, and start working on them. Don't be idle! Don't waste your time! Your life is yours, and is different from that of the person you feel jealous about. That successful person has paid some price, the price for his success, and he deserves that success. You can achieve a greater success than the one you seem jealous about if you will just start chasing your dreams, and fulfilling your vision. If you let jealousy control you, it will push you further out of your vision and place you far away from the distance where you could had easily walked back to what would guarantee your success and fulfillment. You could end up taking a wrong path (a shortcut) to achieve your 'success' which would end up being a downfall for you. You could be pushed to plan and execute harm against that successful person, which at the end wouldn't make you successful either, and would even get your life into an early end just like a descending curve that has reached it maximum peak and can't elevate any higher.

There's no point being jealous. If you understand who you are, and have value for yourself, you'll understand that you should celebrate people's success and not get jealous about it. The more you celebrate people's successes, the more you attract success to yourself. The more your eyes and mind will be open to see and understand some principles that brought success to those people; principles which you are not making use of, or haven't really recognized how beneficial it should've been to you.
Instead of the jealousy and envy, ask yourself the question: What did he/she do that I have been missing out on?
With jealousy, one can't get close to ask the successful person certain questions that will open one's eyes to a hidden truth, one that will guarantee your success.

The nice thing about successful persons is that they can help you learn the truths, if you open your mind and want to learn. Success have NO secrets, just truths that everyone needs to apply individually and make effective use of. Successful persons are matured enough not to be jealous. They know that jealousy is a characteristic of immaturity, and if they don't get above jealousy and envy, they can never have success!

So, if you desire success, you've got to master jealously and envy. Don't let them master You!
