Being Jealous Isn’t Always Bad

It can reignite your fire if you use it wisely.

I know I’m not the only person who compares myself to others. As a naturally driven person, I gain genuine fulfillment from working hard. I try to be patient as I wait to reap the benefits. Giving my all is the bare minimum in a world that freely accepts defeat with no promise of a better tomorrow.

I’m happy to see people I know succeed from their hard work. I don’t envy them but congratulate them with love in my heart. Hard, consistent, tireless effort deserves to be rewarded.

Freeloaders, copiers, and scammers do not, and I am tired of it. It fills me with everything from anxiety, to sadness, to defeat, to ravenous envy.

Am I wrong to be jealous of someone that gains recognition for publishing a load of rubbish five times a day and gets paid more than me?

Writing is an art form, and to see people abuse it is upsetting. I am angry because they are rewarded for it — through recognition, views, and money.

I am envious. It drives me to do better, to learn more, and to keep improving.

Fellow Medium writer, Tamil focuses on staying inspired and finding gratitude in life’s simple pleasures.

Being jealous and expressing gratitude are not mutually exclusive. The two emotions can both exist and serve me in different ways. My fire can never be burnt out.
