Jealousy is an inner consciousness of ones own inferiority. It is a mental cancer.- B.C .Forbes.

Hello Read Stars!!. Your friend and favourite writer is here. Hope you all had a productive day ?. Before I proceed, permit me to ask you a question. Do you think jealousy and inferiority have the same meanings, or they are pretty different ?.

Well, I guess you must be trying to figure out the answer to that. You can take your time. But in this article, I will be sharing an experience I had as regards them and how I was able to rid myself off them.

Yesterday, I was going through a young lady's Instagram page who happens to be a song minster and a guitarist.

I felt so impressed at how a young lady could be so talented and intentional in such manner. I didn't know when I started feeling jealous at her feat. Truth be told, I started feeling insecure, and intimidating.

I didn't know when I started wishing I was the one who was singing and playing the guitar. I was about going deep into my wishes and imaginations when I caught myself.

My gosh, I've got talents, too. Why do I need to stress myself over someone who is showcasing her naturally given talent? She's a song minister who is meant to influence people's lives through her songs while I am a writer who is meant to influence people's lives through my words.

I felt better. I no longer felt jealous anymore. I felt really secured and happy for her.

Inferiority is the lack of self-worth, a doubt and uncertainty about oneself, and feelings of not measuring up to standards. It is often subconscious, and is thought to drive afflicted individuals to overcompensate, resulting either in spectacular achievement or extremely asocial behavior.

When you feel inferior or jealous, you'll naturally want to be better than the source of such inferior feeling. It'll stem a need for competition in you. You'll want to beat them at every step.

Every single action of the other will make you feel jealous. They have better hair, better clothes, better grades. Such thoughts will plague you. It's very easy for these feelings to amplify into something much sinister.

Now, to the reason I'm writing this. You see, it's a very normal thing to feel inferior in different ways. It shows you're human, after all. But how long are you letting that evil of inferiority and jealousy last in your heart ?

What is that fruit that jealousy is breeding in your heart? You really need to call yourself back together by thinking about the good thing in your life, when you find yourself jealous.

While remembering the good things in your life, do make sure it's not a way to compare your feat with the other person's feat as it will only breed hatred and jealousy. The major aim of thinking about the good thing in your life is to show gratitude and to realize you're not that useless as you might think. It's not for comparison of any kind.

Jealousy is one of the many products that arise from the complex web of inferiority. Do well to shun them.

To make sure of this, I challenge you to always do your possible best in steering clear of jealousy and inferiority whenever they visit your heart because when this evils aren't dismissed they may result into hatred. And why should you develop hatred of any kind for people that didn't wrong you..?

How have you been able to conquer jealousy and Inferiority? Let me know in the comment section. I'd love to learn from you, too.

It is normal to feel jealous and inferior about something or someone, but most of the time I want to use it as an inspiration if it is about things to have, and if about the talents, then i will just comfort myself by telling that we are unique and we have different gifts. There are things thats i have that someone don't have.. Don't let jealousy conquer your heart because remember satan fall because of his jealousy.

God gave us all talents. So we don't have reason to get jealous to others. We have something that others don't have. It's not good to compare ourselves to other people. We are unique to each other. So believe yourself my dear friend that you're also special like them.

Jealousy can destroy our own beauty which lead us to inferiority. It can greatly affect your self-esteem and worse it's a poison to our hearts that can ruins one's life.

Jealousy is something that creeps in at moments when one's guard is down and once it dominates the mind, it will only seek to destroy.

You are right dear, it sure does, and the worst part of it is the fact that it only aims to destroy.

Dear Michael, you said great. There are many situations in everyday life that may make us jealous, as you said at such times we have to think about our own strengths, and our abilities. Whenever I find this feeling, I always try to distract myself by thinking about my strengths, and my possessions. That human beings were created differently from each other, and each grew up in different circumstances.

This is a pleasant understanding from you Ellen. We all aren't created the same way and not with the same talents, so we shouldn't be jealous. Thanks for your comments

Our heart is like an open field of the earth, jealousy and inferiority tend to dump there some times, especially when someone is doing greater than us, but we must never let it stay there. We must avert them by all means.
