How To Overcome Jealousy
Why do we feel jealous? It's because we compare ourselves with others. Let's say you think you are a good-looking man and there's an another man who is just as good-looking as you but taller, you will think that ahh! I'm screwed. Or you are a pretty woman but you see a woman who is prettier than you or she has the exact body type that you want, and your boyfriend is talking to her you are going to feel inferior and that causes jealousy.

You feel jealous because you compare yourself to others in one category, we often worry about one look, one physical feature or one idea of ourselves that makes us special to someone. But that doesn't makes us special. Remember someone is always going to beat you in one or more categories, there's always gonna be someone more intelligent than you, someone taller than you, someone who can teach to people better than you or has better body shape.

But here is the difference we may looks at him and say ohh! He is tall and good-looking but is he tall good-looking and funny? Is he tall good-looking and generous? Is he tall good-looking and as thoughtful as me? In other words is this someone who really beats me in every category or am I just focusing on one thing? So instead of focusing on just excelling on one area focus on diversifying that portfolio and say I'm gonna be that person who brings so much to the table in every area.

Like in the amount of positive energy i bring to them, the amount of generosity i bring to them, and how much I compliment them and feel them great, in how much I spark their imagination and make them think about the things they've never thought about before, in the amount that I show them new worlds that haven't discovered before. I'm gonna be that person that represents so many good things that it doesn't matter if someone excels in one category they can never compete with all of the things that I am as an entirety.
