How to Avoid Being Jealous of Friends
I really am so excited that my friends are happy. I encourage them to go for their dreams and try to motivate them. The problem that I run into is that they’re achieving all of the things that I desire to.
I don’t usually feel jealous but my friend recently has accomplished a pretty big dream of mine and some in the span of a week. I can’t say it doesn’t stink a bit to see. How do I rid myself of this feeling? I am happy she has obtained the things that she has wanted! It’s more so I’m sad it’s not me. :’)

[Note- this is you talking to yourself]
What if you said to yourself this " hey ( your name) , even though ( friends name) achieved this , was it a competition between us friends. Were you not moving towards the same goal to achieve it . Maybe she reached it first , so what ? Can i set my priorities straight and congratulate the friend for now, and maybe i will get her congrats later."
