Yes, jealousy holds you back. It’s that stupid thing that creeps in and leaves you always wanting, never satisfied. It’s that thing that will keep you pushing your own agenda without giving others a second thought. Jealousy will make you miss out on opportunities. I could change every “you” to “me” or “I” in this post and it would work because I’ve felt this never ending, ugly jealousy. But the thing is I don’t want it. This isn’t a competition.
So, here’s to beating jealousy and truly being happy for others when they succeed.
