I truly believe jealousy has a way of crippling people’s growth and glow up. It’s a distraction to the God given purpose you’ve been assigned to do on this earth. Yes, you can hold space for that emotion, but don’t sit there too long.

Get to the root cause of the jealousy. If you find yourself constantly jealous of others (including your own family and friends), you will need to actively work on that b/c too often people lose great connections because of jealousy.

Jealousy will have folks feeling like they missed out on something or not good enough. OAN, envy will have you wanting exactly what that person has and it ain’t worth it folks! Discover your purpose & talents and get around ppl who want to see you flourish at your highest level!

One thing I’ve recognized about myself is I can see people’s abilities and when they aren’t performing to their highest abilities. As a close confidant, I will do my best to help you flourish in your gifts/purpose even if it’s something I desire for myself.

My discernment also picks up jealousy and envy in people. I’m heavy on my grace and mercy, but my boundaries will also be firm to not allow a person w/ jealousy too close to the desires hidden in my heart. This is where a lot of folks get stuck and feel disappointment.

Some of you have people in your circle that are extremely jealous of you, but you rather keep folks in close proximity which is impacting your purpose in a negative way. You can either discuss it w/ them or create boundaries so you can flourish!

It also takes a person with high emotional intelligence to recognize when a family/friend is in a rough patch and can’t celebrate a joyous moment with you. But, don’t make this a habit to let people off the hook that may carry a jealous spirit.
