How do you respond when people around you are doing better than you in any aspect, be it financial, family, career or even physical appearance, what's your response to that feeling of jealousy?. Many pretend a lot saying "I don't get jealous, I don't envy anyone" but everyone gets the feeling of jealousy, it then is a question of what you do with the feeling, there is an option of good and bad to everyone, then we have to choose right, it just happens that many out of the list choose to act negative about their envy. Don't forget everyone feels jealous, that means there's someone also feeling jealousy of you, would you like them to act bad to you too?.
Although being jealous is not the problem, its what we do then with the jealous feeling that creates the issue. Everyone gets jealous one way or the other, people would always get what you desire and that is just a way life is, just mere talking a walk along the streets you see your neighbours with beautiful houses, driving good cars, beautiful wives or handsome husband, lovely kids, you would be jealous for a certain, just know that the feeling is normal, and we must learn to deal with it, so we can say to our conscience that I am good.

Forget what you have heard in time past, this thing called Jealousy is a normal phenomenon, it exist among everyone and anyone, that doesn't mean it isn't bad, oh it's bad in many aspect but also it has got its good sides, firstly the bad, it makes you feel down about yourself, feeling someone else is better off, comparing your life to another, not minding the fact that you know only little about the person.
The good side of jealousy, hmm funny it has its good, the good are owing to you wanting to get where the other person has gotten to, building up this sense of competition, so you work harder, on the long run you become better than your former. Does that makes sense, oh yes it does, moreover everything in you that has been imputed by God is originated to be good. They all has their light.
So when you neighbor hits a new peak, do rejoice alongside, you might not feel like especially if you have been hoping for such, or you just don't like the person in question, it is understandable, you aren't a wicked soul walking on the earth, no you're still human having human feelings, but emotional intelligence is also a great key to success, plus its just a law of life that what comes around goes around, you rejoice today, and others would surely rejoice alongside you when its your turn.
