I am sure all of us are well aware of this monster. He creeps up on us and gives us a terrible feeling. I hate the feeling of being jealous! I will rather feel angry or sad or confused than jealous!
We all are guilty of being jealous and we all have been the cause of making someone else jealous. Most of the time we won't even be aware of it. But what cause us to get jealous? The main reason in my opinion is if we feel that a valuable relationship is in jeopardy. Another reason is when someone else achieves or has something that we want.

The million dollar question is how to poison and get rid of this green monster? I don’t think we will ever be able to get rid of it, but we can learn to control it. We need to rise above the situation which makes
us jealous.
Make sure you have valid reasons for being jealous. If not, get over it. Love yourself for who you are. Do not constantly compare yourself with others! We all are unique and special just the way we are. No one will ever be able to be a better ‘you’ than yourself. So why live in someone else’s shadow? You cannot force anyone to like you.
Is jealousy really worth destroying yourself? Remember that no matter how hard you work there will always be someone better and worse in what you do!
It is good to know that one can tie this monster down and be in control of it. Replace the feeling of jealousy with a feeling of happiness and then tell the person how happy you are for them, soon your heart will believe it too when you see how people react and lighten up to that compliment.
