Have you ever felt jealous? Be honest with me, because I have. And it’s not pretty.
Jealousy has been coming up very strongly for me lately and I know it is because I’m going through a bit of a growth spirt and evolving spiritually. Some within the metaphysical circles will call it leveling up, and yes, my ears have been ringing too. Jealousy has been confronting me, it has been all up in my face recently and it has decided to make me confront it by showing up through the closest people in my life. Close enough that I had no choice but to pay attention. I wrote about how to deal with the worst, strongest pangs of jealousy in this blog post a few days ago.
Can you guess what your jealousy is really trying to show you? It is trying to show you the one thing you want the most. We get that. But what do you do overcome this quality altogether? You have two options:
- Go out there and work hard, push, pull, do what you have to do in order to get that thing you want so badly… as pointed out by your jealousy. OR…
- You could understand that it is a only and matter of time till what you want most will come TO you anyway, chill out and be happy.
The second option is not easy to understand, let alone practice! But I’ve made an attempt to explain the concept in this video. Watch it, question it, decipher it, rephrase it in your own words and integrate it. If it’s still confusing, ask me in the comments.
It’s only a matter of time.
And time is relative anyway. (Interstellar anyone?)
When nothing else makes sense, the one thing you can count on is love. Start with yourself on that.
With my love,
Ritu
