Jealousy and Hatred are symptoms of a Defective Soul

"Thoughts of malice, envy, disappointment, despondency robs the body and f it's health and grace".

- James Allen

Throughout my 22years of existence, I have never seen a malicious person who had come to accomplish up to half of what he or she envies in another. This shows that bitterness and malice only destroys the soul of the one who harbours them. Jealousy is one of the seven deadly emotions to shun if you want to become victorious in life.

I have come to discover that people who feel uncomfortable at the success of others are rather insecure especially when the person whom they are jealous of have never provoked them. Why would you feel threatened by another person's accomplishments when that person have never threatened you before. It only shows that a jealous person have self esteem issues. It shows that they donot believe that they could equally become successful too. Reason why they would stoop so low to hate. I think that's quite childish and immature.

People who are envious of others fail to realize the sacrifices, efforts and obstacles that other people have painstakingly endured to be who they are today. When you find your self hating on other, always remember that the success of one would never deter yours. Instead let it serve as a motivation that would aspire you towards further growth. Don't forget that you are also a work in progress too, and ofcourse growth doesn't happen in an instant. Before you become a teacher, you have to be a student first, before you become a Master, you have to serve and before you become a doctor, you have to be patient. Instead of hating, why don't you improve your self by his counsel and learn from his mistakes so that your own journey would become easier.

So, why don't you clap and rejoice for another man's success since your own victory is at hand. . Don't forget that the race isn't against one another. The real enemy is time, indiscipline, procrastination, fear, doubt, indecision, even social media.

Jealousy leads to a dysfunctional soul, and when a soul is dysfunctional, the body and mind becomes dysfunctional too. An healthy mind is never jealous.

A healthy mind always realises that happiness and contentment comes from the inside and not through material possessions or worldly achievements. A healthy soul would always believe in itself and use that belief to better the mind to become the best version of thyself. But a defective soul would always seek happiness through comparison with others and this would definitely cause more harm and weakness to the soul.
