Jealousy

“If you don’t like me but still watch everything I do, then let’s face it you’re a FAN”

Jealousy is a negative trait in human behaviour. We fail to differentiate the good from the bad when we are jealous of someone. What we fail to realise is that we are not jealous because the other person is happy, instead we are jealous because we don’t posses what they have. The day we can identify this truth, we will be able to put our jealousy to good use and lay a foundation of success built on strong conviction.
