So, your friend gets the latest cell-phone, your neighbour drives in with your dream car, your colleague is wearing the dress that you just couldn’t afford or your junior gets a raise or promotion before you…
Your pressure begins to rise, you start getting thoughts like, “How could they get it and not me”, or worst still, “I hope the cell-phone drops or the dress rips”…well, you’ve just been caught by the ‘Green Goblin’…yes, it’s called JEALOUSY and ENVY.
You give a warm smile or cheerful greeting, but deep down inside, YOU know what’s bubbling inside. So, how do you deal with such situations? Here’s a few simple tips:
- ‘Shake’ yourself out of the jealous or envious state. Thinking too much about it can negatively affect your health. Question yourself; so what if they have something that I don’t? It’s not going to impact on my life and success in any way. I should focus on my growth and goals.
- Always develop an attitude of gratefulness. You doing pretty well so far. You should count your blessings instead of looking too much at others. If you carefully look at all that you have and achieved thus far, you will notice that there are many out there that are less fortunate than you.
- Pray/wish for more blessings and success for the person/s that bring out jealousy or envy in you. This is a very meritorious and high-levelled action to practise on.
So, the next time the ‘Green Goblin’ troubles you, try your best to follow the 3 simple steps above. He’s sure to lose his ‘glow’ in no time…
