Success and Jealousy
Anish3.0 • 7 Jun 2025 •
A significant number of people in your circle are more likely to feel envy from your achievements and it’s not a bad thing necessarily. That’s more of a human issue than something related to personality. Jealousy often occurs due to a feeling of being insufficient or insignificant in front of another. It’s a natural trait of the ego and there’s nothing wrong in people experiencing feelings of jealousy for a fleeting bit. It might not be wise to bracket people as bad company just because they were not as happy as you wish they would be. However, this is not to say that anyone and everyone is your well wisher. There are people for whom jealousy has become a shadow, constantly accompanying them. And those people are to be avoided at any cost.

Yes that’s true Haider! Thanks for sharing that. I feel there are two things that one could do. For starters, look at our own position in this vast universe. It’s a reminder that I’m able to function because of some merciful contraption of the universe. And give thanks to my existence which is the most powerful gift. Second, jealousy also serves as a reminder to focus on my lane and keep working. It’s only when I’m not in that mode of action that I’m carried away by other’s opinions or achievements in a negative sense.
Nice! 👍🏻👍🏻
I find that jealousy is often the natural result of constantly asking the question “what does this say about me?” when considering other people’s success? When other people’s success makes us feel small, we get jealous. We can’t be happy for others because of how it makes us feel about ourselves. Being secure in ourselves helps us develop the capacity to experience joy for others.
