Coping with jealousy

How do you deal with when someone who is close to you gains crazy success? That person is not better than you but he/she was lucky and knew how to exploit this artificial world. (I did not say that person did not deserve by the way).

Is that even worth being jealous about? It is human nature to be jealous because here you are doing something right and the other is doing something we dont know what just to be successful. The only time it is wrong when you act upon it in a wrong way. Let jealousy be a way to do better without the need to do wrong.

I would be proud of them. If they did something to cause being so successful, that is great. There is no reason to be jealous. Just means the lesser has to work hard, success is dealt in different ways.

I don't get jealous I'm happy with their success. I'm the one who blames if I failed not them so jealousy won't help you to be successful in life.

That's called crab mentality. When you are on your way to the top , they will pull you down.

The best thing to do is to learn from them. It doesn't matter if the person is better than you or not or if they deserve what they have, they are where they are right now because of they're actions. Work hard yourself. And if you take enough risks, keep doing what has to be done, I'm confident that you will get your own time for success.
