I recently caught myself feeling a bit jealous of other people’s success, so I took a deep breath and I asked some myself some questions that might be worth sharing.
Thank you for sharing this, Matthew. Those are some great questions for reflection. This is a practical way of using the feelings of jealousy to learn more about myself. So grateful to read this today. It's important to note that jealousy is a normal feeling. Instead of controlling how we feel, we can control our actions. I loved how you handled it with grace.
Yes! The big green monster! When I feel it, it always has to do with something I think I ought to be better at. More structured, mostly. Better performing. More robot-like.
The grace you show is the best way to deal with it. Learn why it feels like that and go on living and making good work.
