Jealousy is a great signal.
A friend once said to me: “I love feeling jealous!”
I was surprised, as I felt that jealousy was an “ugly” emotion and I shouldn’t feel that way.
She explained that jealousy told her what she really wanted. We get jealous of people who have something we want, and would never be jealous of somebody whose life isn’t appealing to us.
So when she got jealous, she became curious about what the other person had that she didn’t, as there was some part of her that wanted that. Jealousy became a signal for her to get clear about what was missing from her life.
Who is somebody you are jealous of? And what do they have that you might be craving?
