Using Jealousy

Having other people jealous of you and wanting you to quit may feel bad on a lower level but is a strong indicator that you are doing well. If you were not in some position that threatened another individual, there would be no reason for that jealousy. Jealousy is one of the biggest indirect compliments that can be paid to someone, and it should be appreciated instantly once noticed. The key is to take that energy from the other person and send it at another priority of your own, and this can build up more of that energy from others as jealousy increases. Although they won’t say it, they know they are providing you with some extra motivation through their negative commentary, but they will continue to do it anyway as they are being controlled by emotion rather than logic. A side note is that it is also key to not absorb the jealousy and feel that you are now above the other person, but to use it for your own objective. A person that absorbs the provided jealousy will become emotionally spoiled, and in that case the negative intent of the jealousy works as desired by the other individual.
