People who are jealous don’t usually see themselves as jealous.

Jealousy is a killer of friendships and relationships.

It is one human condition that is so self-destructive that we ought to outlaw it right now.

Cultivate a prevention program:

• When someone gets something or someone that I want, celebrate it with sincerity. You don’t want to be the kind of person who is only happy when your wants and dreams come true.
• Never compare yourself to another – it breeds jealousy and serves no human need.
• Avoid playing games. Power struggles often lead to jealousy situations and what is remarkable is that the game and not the goal becomes the focus of jealousy.
• Jealousy in relationships is not love. We give love we don’t take it. When we do not let those close to us have the freedom to choose us every day, we undermine our real value.
• Build up your self-esteem. Jealous people are not comfortable in their own shoes.

As William Penn said, “The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves”.
