I love this post. I grew up with a mom who was always full of envy for other people, and I hated how she judged people based on her feelings. I could never relate, because where she seemd to feel what someone else had took something away from her, I always felt like you say! I always felt like what someone else had or did was only PROOF that it could be done and had!! If they did it, so could I. It was possible.

I like how you say it. Roar back.

But can’t you see it? That you already ARE ~*beautiful*~ and honest (each and every post, dear girl) and successful!!??!! I am jealous of your openness and warmth (the very first time I came to your blog, my first thought was, *she is so friendly…she makes me want to give her a hug and I don’t even know her *yet*)…you have a way of making people feel comfortable, like they are sitting on your couch with you having a cosy chat with tea. You are so *real*.

How funny. I was talking about this very subject with a dear friend a week or so ago…it was the first time I looked upon jealousy as a gift..but it really is! It brings you clarity about things that may not be working for you in your life, and hints and whispers at you the things you really would like to bring in.

Love this post…LOVE YOU!

Brilliant! GREAT post, love that spin, it’s perfect. I understand completely the line, “Jealousy does not take away from how happy I am for other people when they do well – I think it actually makes me a better friend – I can be thrilled for them knowing that there is enough for me too!” That is EXACTLY how I feel when I get that twinge.

Thank you for the lovely words.

i’m not feeling jealous in this moment but i do feel appreciative for all of the jealousies i have felt. they do always lead me to realise “hey! i want that too!” and the really beautiful thing is seeing that if someone else did it, that makes it even more possible for me to do it – maybe they will even help me figure out how i can do it! jealousy is a beautiful guide.

I agree completely. Whenever I feel that contracting around my heart that tells me I’m envious of what someone else has then I know it is a message from my heart that I want more of that in my life. I’m learning to let go of the jealously but to pay attention to the longing and then go and find some of that for myself.

Great post! x
