I was watching a video by Bob Proctor that talked about jealousy. I disagreed with Bob´s definition of jealousy and spent some serious time contemplating the significance of jealousy. I came up with this definition: Jealousy is the anger directed at yourself for not achieving what you know you can have.
I know that when I feel the emotion of jealousy, I see it as a good thing. It gives me the opportunity to see where I am falling short of what I know that I can accomplish. What about you? Think about where you are feeling jealousy and then see if there is some anger directed at yourself because you aren´t living up to your full potential.
For example, there is a female internet marketer that drives me crazy. I can´t stand her hair, her personality, her story, or her marketing. After some serious analysis, I realized that I was jealous of internet marketer X. What a fabulous opportunity for me to look at what she was doing, what she had accomplished and what her business looked like that actually made me feel anger at myself for not accomplishing something similar.
This is a very different viewpoint on jealousy but let me tell you it is powerful. I ordered her internet marketing course and am willing to be mentored by this hugely successful woman. I want what she has. I know that I can have what she has – an 8-figure income. I am so excited by this emotion and the power of it, I am thrilled to be associated with Madam X.
Is there someone that you are jealous of? Ask yourself: What do they have that you really want for yourself? If you are feeling that powerful emotion of jealousy, know that it´s because of some level, your soul wants it and knows it is capable of achieving it.
I love the powerful emotions that surge within me. The anger, the fear, the sadness and even the jealousy are all stimulants in my life to go for the gold, to achieve the life I know I can create. Rather than feel bad about those so-called negative emotions, why not see them as powerful communication from your soul as to what you can potentially achieve.
That turns the tables on life, doesn´t it?

One of my spiritual teachers says: Anger is just frustrated love. It blew my mind, and I continue to explore that. It’s occurred to me that since we are Love and that is all we are at our essence, everything/anything that occludes that or presents another face of us is, in fact, only frustrated love. If I read your post in that light, I see the same message: when our Love (potential) is not being fully expressed in its pure form, we seek an outward form to target our frustrated expressions of self upon.
