Jealousy is a powerful tool

“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.

Facing hard truths

Being confronted with a hard truth is one of the most challenging, exciting, thought-provoking, derailing and life-changing things that can happen!

See here’s the thing, at the end of the day there is something we all must admit: Throughout our lives, we are going to get knocked down……… a lot.

BUT!

It’s in these moments where opportunity presents itself and you have the potential to create a story that can change you forever. This is a very very good thing. I can’t emphasise enough how important and necessary these moments are. No-one wants to hear the story of someone that was given everything their whole life, worked for nothing and became hugely successful.

At the end of the day, we are all defined by our attitudes towards our circumstance rather than the circumstance itself. It’s all of the learnings attained through self-awareness that will shape your next step and direct you towards to the person you will evidently be. And if you fuck up, guess what? You can’t have strength without falling first and the character-building circumstances you face will prepare you for a future that will be truly embraced with open arms.

Doubt kills more dreams that failure ever will. Personally I’d rather fail at something I want than settle for something I don’t, there will always be other opportunities!!

Take the risk in being seen by others and putting yourself out there. The benefits of doing this are so incredibly positive and will present an opportune moment to seize your full potential.
