When is it okay to feel jealous
Jealous of someone? Watch this
envy is one of the most toxic emotions
that you can feel and I know this better
than most because I used to be so
envious of people when I was younger I
was I mean I could find any reason to be
envious and envy is different than
jealousy because envy is when you not
only want what the other person has but
there's a part of you that feels like
they don't deserve it
that when you see a friend getting ahead
or making more money or they've got a
new handbag or they've got a better car
or a bigger house or they're going on a
fancy trip that you start to feel this
toxic emotion called envy and I'm
telling you that if you're somebody who
struggles because you feel envious of
other people in your life you have got
to get a hold on this because it will
corrode you and the reason why envy is
so toxic is because of the edge to it
I've made a lot of videos about the
power of jealousy not jealousy in a
relationship but jealousy of looking
around and seeing people that are out
there doing things that you're jealous
of and using jealousy as a signal to
pull you forward envy corrodes you envy
makes you stuck and the reason why Envy
is so dangerous is because there's an
undercurrent to it that none of us
talked about and this is what it is when
you're envious of somebody else deep in
your heart you have a belief that
because that person got that handbag or
they got that promotion or they got to
go on that trip that somehow their
success their good fortune it's robbing
you of yours that there's only so much
happiness there's only so much money so
many trips in the world to go around and
if you see somebody that's doing
something that you want they just took
it away from you so this is why Envy
becomes so dangerous to you because if
you live your life believing there's
only so much in the world to go around
you are living
your life in conflict with the
fundamental laws of the way that the
world works when you think about
abundance when you think about
possibility when you think about dreams
and success those are infinite abundance
means that it is there for the taking
for everybody that there's no limit to
the amount of happiness or kitchen
renovations or designer jeans or
promotions that can go around and when
you allow yourself to live in a state
where you're envious of other people you
are living your life believing that
there's only so much happiness and
somebody else getting to be happy
somebody else getting to get engaged
somebody else getting to launch that
business somehow robs you of yours
because there's not enough to go around
you have got to change it you have got
to first and fundamentally believe that
there is success happiness money riches
possibility for everybody there's enough
for everybody that nobody's in
competition with you and that in fact
when you see somebody that has something
that you desire you should be happy you
want to know why you should be happy
because it's a sign that it's possible
it's a sign that it's coming to you it's
a sign that you're on your way if you
allow Envy to creep in you have now
aligned your life with the belief that
there's not enough to go around
you need to stop that right now so
bottom line Envy knock it off it will
never help you get what you want in fact
it's gonna keep you stuck in miserable
so do the work to catch yourself when
you're feeling envious and remind
yourself that if you want abundance in
your life you better start believing
that there's enough for everybody to go
around and you better start learning how
to be happy for other people
