How To Turn Jealousy To Inspiration

One simple mindset shift is all you need

I get jealous of others. I wish I didn’t, but I do. Perhaps you’re the same. Do you see others’ success and get annoyed that they can do it and you can’t? Does it seem unfair?

We are a competitive species. Thousand of years ago these instincts may have been essential to secure food, water and shelter we needed to survive.

But it’s not thousands of years ago now. It’s now. Comparing and competing with others isn’t healthy — not for me anyway. The mindset shift is this. If others are able to succeed, then it shows you that success is possible. You just need to find your way.

Think about a ladder. You don’t have to throw others off the ladder to climb it, just find gaps on the rungs for your own hands and feet.
