It is very easy to look over at someone else and see everything that they've got and then want that for our self. It's easy to fall into jealousy or envy, and to start to feel bitterness for others having more than we do or having seemingly better opportunities than we have had. But what isn't easy is taking the time to know and understand what those people went through in order to get what they have achieved. Quite often we only see the finished product and not their struggle.
We didn't see the 20 or 30 years that they might have struggled and suffered, sacrificing their time for a bigger goal that they wanted to pay off. Quite often successful people didn't get there over night and their success is often something that they had to work for and work at for many years. Maybe if we so quickly want what we see others having, then we should consider putting in the effort that they did in order to get it. Being jealous over the success of other people doesn't get us anywhere, it just makes us feel miserable.
Everyone has their own individual journey and it is going to make us a lot happier in life if we can instead choose to be happy for the success of others, rather than letting it cause us stress and anguish. Jealousy and envy can quite often feel like it is rotting the bones and eating us away, it doesn't produce anything in our lives besides an effective method for wasting time. Instead of looking at what others have achieved and letting it bring you down, you can choose to let it inspire you.
When we are too busy yearning for the life or possessions that others have, then it can easily keep us from enjoying our own lives and feeling at peace. Why compare where others are at in their lives with where we are? There are many successful and young adults for example that became millionaires before the age of 30, and if all you do is look at them and judge your own success based on theirs, then it will be quite easy to feel like a failure in comparison.
There is no point in hating or being jealous of the success of other people. An individual who is truly confident and at peace with themselves isn't going to leave room for jealousy in their lives. Confidence can release us from jealousy and envy so that we can escape the torment and instead be happy for the success that others achieve.
