It helps to focus on what you have achieved yourself. But I don't see happiness as being measured by success, more by the friends and family you have, the things which get you up in the morning, the things in your life you are proud of :) There's a saying, '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.' It can be so damaging to compare yourself to other people. They may seem successful but they no doubt have flaws in other areas, everybody is different:)

Jealousy is a difficult topic, and often seen as very taboo. Oddly enough, overt jealousy of others' bodies appears to be accepted - you often hear people saying things like 'I wish I had her thighs' or 'I wish that blouse looked as good on me as on Maisy'. Jealousy of others' success, however, is often frowned on. Personally, I consider the damage jealousy does to the beholder to be the biggest worry, as it follows a vicious cycle of comparing oneself to others. That is where reducing jealousy begins - in evaluating your own life and spotting your own success stories, your own abilities, your own potential. Try to reflect on what you have overcome, how hard you have worked for what you have, and also remember we live in a world of social media where only highlights are commonly portrayed. So just because that former highschool classmate looks as though their life is now perfect because they have money, but maybe they are working a 60+ hour week and don't ever see their kids. You can't have the good, e.g. wealth, status, without the bad, e.g. demands on your time, stress, significant accountability. The grass may always seem greener on the other side, but it is quite possibly just an illusion.

Realize that there is no limit to joy, and that another's joy does not diminish my own. If anything, joy expands!

You can't really stop being jealous of others, its one of the emotions we feel and what makes us who we are. The best way to handle this is to understand why your really jealous and use what you learn to make a positive change. (*^_^*)

Think of all the amazing things you can do that others may not be able to do, and most of all, accept who you are, and be proud of that person.

By not caring about others and valuing oneself. Everybody is important and has his own special ability to do things. You gotta figure it out and just be yourself. You will find yourself being happy instead of being jealous of others, :)

You think about what you've accomplished. Others have their own achievements and goals, and you have yours. Their successes will not affect your successes unless you let it.

Make a list of the things that you are proud of accomplishing. It can be as simple as paying the bills on time or being able to get through your day. It does not have to be anything huge. Be proud to be you, and love yourself. Everyone's journey is different and unique.
