When Competition is a Cat!

There will always be someone with 

better abilities than ourselves.

Jealousy doesn't have to be ugly. It is how one responds to that emotion when feeling threatened by another, that determines whether their own insecurities will lead them to a dark place.

Will you move over gracefully when someone with higher skills steps in, to allow them to have the spotlight for awhile? You must ask yourself how important is it really to be centerstage or tops at what you do? How will this effect my future? Could it effect my career if I'm no longer "Top Dog" or just hurt my pride if I give someone else a little more room to shine?

On a positive note, our jealousy of others could motivate us, (e.g. our competive spirit kicks in & we get inspired by another's ability; or we get motivated towards the betterment of our own skills).

Will you be disrespectful to someone who happens to be just as talented or skilled as you? 

And how do you handle a bullying, jealous person on social media who stalks?

Block them & don't let it ruin your day. 

Surely, snide tactics over and over, shouldn't be apart of a healthy relationship online. 

How do you handle jealousy?
