Jealousy

Jealousy is not a good look. Most people who say they aren't jealous of someone are usually lying because when another person achieves success, some people start hating on him/her. Why be jealous of someone? It doesn't make sense to me. We all chart our life's course. You can be just as successful as another person if you make the right moves and keep the faith. Jealousy reflects poorly on the person than the object of his/her's envy. I'm not jealous of anyone, why would I be? I like to see others doing well because chances are, they had to go through a lot to get where they're at. Going further, seeing someone else make it inspires me to keep pushing forward and use some of their strategies to reach my goal(s) faster. I'm too busy on my grind to be envious of another person. Some people get so envious they scheme to bring him/her down because they can't stand to see someone doing better than them. We need to get it together people, really. Many people don't have anything worthwile to be jealous of so to be envious over the average Joe Schmoe is ridiculous. This is why I keep my team small. When I make it, I want to be around genuine people that will celebrate my success with me, not snakes (People who smile in your face but cut your throat in a minute). Life is too short for jealousy.

  1. I always keep in mind that I don't know what a person went through to get where they are. I don't know if I would have been strong enough to do what they did. One of my credos is to not hate but emulate and imitate. Use knowing that person as an opportunity to learn and grow. Jealousy is very limiting. I spent a short time in my life being jealous of a person even though I admired her. I admired everything but when it all started coming, I realized that I'm better off being me.

    1. If everyone stayed in their lane, the world would be a better place. You're right, jealousy is very limiting because the energy one spends being envious of another person could be used to improve oneself.
