When jealousy shows up, you are faced with a choice. In fact, there are few different paths you can take when you experience jealousy.
The first (and most common) direction is to fall into feeling like a powerless victim. Let’s call this Path One.
On Path One, you think about how unfair things are to you. You wish is was you who had it all: that thing/job/body/amount of money. You move into beliefs of scarcity and lack.
You feel bad for yourself about how unfair things are, and you become defeated and disempowered.
The second (also very common) direction is to begin to judge the person who has what we want. Let’s call this Path Two.
On Path Two, you attempt to bring the other person down and knock them down because you want to help yourself feel better. You look at that person’s success and see all the flaws and ways you can criticise them for having what they have.
My guess is that if you have ever felt jealousy (which let’s face it, we all have), you have found yourself going down Path One or Path Two. Or maybe even both!
Neither of these paths end up feeling good and they don’t do us any good in the long run.
Path One takes away your own power and leaves you believing you are the victim of unfairness. That doesn’t lead you to take charge of your circumstances and create positive change for ourselves.
And Path Two hurts everyone involved.
While you are judging and criticising other people for their successes, you are also programming your subconscious minds to think that if you ever get to that same place or go after those same things, you will also be criticised and judged for it.
And so without even realising it, part of us begins to fear attaining that thing and we hold ourselves back from truly going after it.
As you can see, Path One and Path Two clearly don’t lead to great outcomes. They aren’t supporting us in moving towards what we really want.
