Unfortunately - I know quite few people whom spend most of their time talking about our people's life. Judging, gossipping and literally spending most of their own time and energy focusing on someone Else's life. I say unfortunately because I actually can't stand these type of people and literally refuse to be close to them.
I don't. Not because I am a saint (call me boring if you want) but I simply don't because I learnt since very young age that if I don't focus my energy on making my life better nobody else will. You could always find reasons to feel jealous of someone because there will always be lots of people better off (in some ways) than you as there will always be lots of people worse off (in some ways) than you. You could spend your whole life comparing yourself against others though what you need to realise is that by doing so you won't move on with your life. You won't get anywhere if you don't focus your energy on your own progress.
I have in my mind - always - that I don't want to be the best. I don't care what others are doing. I want to be great in what I do. If there are many other people going great, fine with me.I will not feel bad because there are other people doing great as well. But unfortunately you will find many people in the world who are not satisfied only in doing well. Some people want other people to do badly. They actually focus their own lives on wishing bad things to others.
I like to always use the fable, The tortoise and the hare, as an analogy for his. For those who don't know the fable; The fable says that the hare who ridicules a slow-moving tortoise and is challenged by him to a race. The hare soon leaves the tortoise behind and, confident of winning, decides to take a nap midway through the course. When he awakes, however, he finds that his competitor, crawling slowly but steadily, has arrived before him.
You could interpret the fable in many different ways though I like to use as an analogy for people who like to gossip or feel jealous of other people.
I see so many people who are just like the hare in the fable. People with a great potential though who chooses to WASTE their time and LIFE by talking about others lives or even focusing on wishing bad things to others. Life is fair and therefore this energy of envy and jealousy end up coming back - in double - to those who wished the bad. These people 1.don't progress because they are forgetting to focus on their own lives and how to improve things on their own lives but also 2.because life is fair and returns to you all the energy you send of to others.
You can choose to be the Tortoise, who maybe a bit slow or with some challenges, but still achieves its objectives and move on with life or...you can choose to be like the Hare, so got so much potential to be a winner in life though chooses to focus on the wrong thing therefore not getting anywhere in life.
In between being the one who is jealous of someone or someone who is the one who people feels jealous of...I choose to be the own who looks after my own nose and my own life without caring what others think.
