Look at the better sides of yourself, rather than comparing yourself to others. Your only competition is what you see in the mirror.

Everything in life takes place at the right time. Some people get lucky and their success happens sooner. We are all in our own lanes and we can't compare ourselves. You are not in a race with other people but yourself. Take your time. Success will reach you too eventually.

Jealousy is a very tricky flavour in oneself. We would want to have like what others want or have. We might also feel we deserve more than what others have. These can be solved by self realisation. Realising and being contented with what we have can lead to a happier life.

Jealousy is a normal feeling that we all have experienced at least once in our lives. I think that one of the ways to stop this feeling is to understand that others may be not fully good and successful as we seem them. They may SEEM to have the perfect job the perfect love life or have traveled the whole world and leading a positive life. But it's not that way people's lives are not perfect. We should keep that in mind. We also have to stop caring about other people's lives. How they live and what they do. We have to focus on our own path and realize that we are different from them we have our own different circumstances. We have to get to know them if could and compliment them. Soon we would accept it. Also find new hobbies to do. We may feel lost now but we will soon find our own success too.

Being jealous of other peoples success is completely normal. We've all been there. In my opinion the best way to get over the jealousy is to make your own success.

Be proud of yours. Jealousy is a strong feeling, and makes you feel bad. I think you should remember that you accomplish things other would like to accomplish, too! There's nothing wrong with that, but try to be aware of the things you accomplish too

Whenever I've been jealous of someone's success, it has been because I found myself lacking in ways that the person wasn't. It is difficult to recognize one's lacking, so that's usually my first step. When I realize that, I evaluate whether the lacking is because I have not tried, or because I think of myself incorrectly. In case of the former, I try to device a way to try. In case of the latter, I re-evaluate myself and the things I am capable of. Because sometimes, that feeling of lacking is just us harshly critiquing ourselves. And then there is the surprise element of "things not in our cotrol". Maybe we tried everything in our power. Maybe we worked just as hard, if not more, compared to the person we are jealou of. And it still didn't work out. It happens, and we cannot do much about that. In the entire process, take care of yourself, and count to 10 before saying anything you immediately feel.

Look at your own successes and believe that someday you too can achieve what you want. You have already done so much, no matter how small, you can continue to grow

Einstein once said, Everybody is a Genius. But If You Judge a Fish by Its Ability to Climb a Tree, It Will Live Its Whole Life Believing that It is Stupid. Consider this, and there is a distinct possibility that you will be better able to appreciate your own successes and talents. you are unique. With that said, it doesn't happen overnight; Rome wasn't built in a day after all.
