Jealousy is an amazing opportunity to remember and reconnect with who you really are but forgot.
What you are most jealous of in another is actually a GIFT.
It shows you what you have disowned in yourself.
It shows you what you need to embrace more of.
It shows you aspects of yourself that you get to make peace with.
It can even show you what you really want deep down but have not acknowledged.
Ultimately, jealousy is not about other people.
It is about you.
When you experience jealousy, you are forgetting who you really are.
Instead of getting caught up in a game of comparison…
That someone is more successful.
More beautiful.
More worthy.
More intelligent.
More on purpose with their life’s mission.
What you are most jealous of in another person shows you a part of yourself that can be tremendously powerful for you to own.
When someone else is succeeding, on any level, it can sometimes trigger a feeling of jealousy. Or perhaps your romantic partner looks at someone else.
In that moment of jealousy, we contract a feeling that we are not enough. We are focused on who we think we are not. We forget the truth of who we really are inside and our true value. We are focused outside of ourselves for validation.
The more you focus on what you don’t have, what’s not enough about you, and what others do have, the more jealous you will feel.
Jealousy is a signal that a part of you needs to refocus on you rather than externally. It’s a signal that a part of you needs your own love, attention, and validation. It’s a signal to give yourself the acknowledgment that you seek.
So remember who you really are: You are whole, perfect, and complete. There will never be another like you.

In fact, you are so unique that you have no competition. As you embrace your own awesomeness, the more self-assured and at peace you will feel within. The more you embrace your magnificence, the more you will be able to embrace and celebrate the same in others.
In turn, the more you are willing to embrace the magnificence in others, the more you also begin owning more of that within yourself. When you see the magnificence in another, you are able to because it is in you already, not because it is lacking.
Dare to own your amazingness!
When you remember who you are and own your magnificence, jealousy falls away.
There is nothing humble about playing small and hiding your light.
There is nothing humble about not living your purpose and expressing your deepest gifts.
There is nothing humble about seeing someone else’s beauty but not your own.
What if real humility was to embrace the true magnificence of your soul?
When you do this, you realize that smallness of your ego is not real. And that jealousy is actually based on a misperception of who you really are. When you know who you are, then you know who everyone else is. In essence, we are all connected, and, at the deepest level, we are one.
So when another person succeeds, so do you. When another person shines and expresses their light, so do you. When another person is radiating beauty, so are you. They are that aspect of yourself reminding you of who you really are!
Embrace the gift of jealousy, and then let it go!
Own your true magnificence.
Set yourself FREE!
