“If you are discontented but unwilling to give up what is holding you back, you will have to admit that it is you who has chosen to reject success and to abandon the dream of being all of the best you can be. If this is so, you can stop getting jealous whenever you see other people around you succeeding in the life you thought you wanted for yourself.”

– Chin-Ning Chu, from her book Do Less, Achieve More

I’m facing problems with jealous people lately. Can’t I just live peacefully in my own world and have my own life without anyone else around? These jealous people, are actually doing things to sabotage and slow my process and my needs. You obviously need to depend on people for some stuff. Why are those idiots so slow and lembap? Arrgghhh… Why can’t I do everything on my two feet without involving other people? Why oh whyy??

How to Deal with Jealousy. (source: howtodothings.com)

Step 1: Determine the tell-tale signs of jealousy (SJ: checked)

Step 2: Ignore Them (SJ: How can I? I need stuff from them. Arrgghh.. Ignore their jealousy? How do I get things done???)

Step 3: Return their bad behavior with good (hmm.. i’ll try)

Step 4: Never Stoop to their Level (I pray that I will not!)
