“The only person you should try and be better than is the person you were yesterday” – Matty Mullins

We have all felt jealousy at some point in our lives!

When you look at another person and experience an inferiority complex, it’s generally an indication that they have something you want – this is a good thing! You can choose to use this as motivation instead of letting it provoke thoughts of assassination. If it’s something you want so much that you’re actually super annoyed when you see someone else with it, it’s time to take the steps necessary to get there rather than accepting your present reality as being good enough.

Paying attention to what is making you feel jealous is the key to alerting yourself to your very next step. This genuine awareness will help to shape your goals around something you intrinsically want. This kind of information is invaluable. It may also inspire you to make moves in your personal or professional world that are based around what inspires you.

In a moment of jealously, don’t forget to also take a moment to reflect on what you have achieved and what you love about your life. Allow yourself permission to shift your attention towards your own accomplishments and all the good things happening in your world.
