stop being jealous of others

At the time I wrote this there was a person in my life who I felt was better at me at all the things I loved. I felt that she was prettier, smarter, more stylish and basically the reason the song “Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better!” was made for.

In the end we had a major falling out and she is no longer a part of my life. I could not tell you who was the bad guy – I think we both were in a way. I have tried to mend our relationship to no avail, but in a way I prefer it like this. I have finally come back to a spot where I feel good about myself. Well, mostly… as much as I was before.

So while I feel like I should click this goal as done, I can’t bring myself to do it. Although I don’t feel as consumed with jealousy as I once did, it came from the destruction of the relationship that was causing it. Is that healthy? Is this right?

I guess its all part of the path that makes me who I am and that is something I’m just going to have to settle with.

idk…with a week of miami ahead of me, im kind of thinking this goal may be a bit over-reaching.

After years of battling jealously, I came to my own conclusion that it is just part of being human. I decided the best thing to do was embrace my jealously and tell people that I was a little jealous of them—but also inspired. I think it is a complement for someone to be envious of you. I try to turn it into a positive and stay in touch with my feelings as well.

Everyone has their own path in the world and I shouldn’t be jealous when my friends or coworkers or other people succeed. Life is not a competition and I try to tell myself that I am going at my own pace, and one day, I will be successful too.

I always think people are happier than me, especially in their relationships. I should let this go, it’s a poisonous feeling.
