Be Happy Instead of Jealous
Jealousy is a bad habit and an enemy to your inner self. It's a destroyer of true happiness and prosperity. I'm not speaking of relationships or couples. I'm speaking of getting jealous when a friend or even people that you may not know are successful or have good fortune.
Think back to a time you got a new car, computer, house, job, or something else…did you notice that you friends were happy for you, or did they suddenly start talking about how they could have what you had just received or purchased? The conversation may have changed from being happy for you to figuring out how they could have the same thing.
This doesn't make them a bad person; it's just that we are all caught up in our own world. Your friend may be truly happy for you, but they now want to know how they can improve their own life.
It would be tough to tell your friend to just be happy for you and not focus on themselves; that might even turn into an argument. The bottom line is: you can't really change your friends, but you can change yourself.
When they experience success or good fortune, rather than becoming jealous, be truly happy for them. How?—you might ask.
Well, it's simple. Everyone has their time; everyone has good things that happen to them. So when you see someone else doing well; smile and feel happy for them in your heart. Now is their time and be happy to be a part of it. Know that good things will come to you too when it is your time.
This type of thinking allows you to be genuinely happy for the person and enjoy sharing in their time of success and happiness. It will make you feel good about yourself and attract prosperity to you!
That's the Way I See It!
