Your Dreams are your Roadmap, your Emotions show you the way
“Jealous?! I don’t get jealous.”
Some emotions aren’t seen as ‘good’ ones in our society; jealousy, for example. We don’t allow ourselves to recognise when we’re feeling this way. The truth is, we are humans and we ALL experience ALL emotions from time to time (whether we like them or not). As with all emotions, when we allow ourselves to accept the fact that it actually IS jealousy that we are experiencing, we allow ourselves to see and become aware of so much more, that would otherwise remain hidden in our subconscious: in the case of jealousy, our secret dreams and desires.
Here’s the thing. When we are not paying attention to our emotions, when we push them aside and pretend they don’t exist, we end up settling for something way less than what is actually possible and miss out. We get stuck in limitation and scarcity.
If we move away from the conditioning that jealousy is a ‘bad’ emotion to feel, we realise that it can actually be a catalyst and motivation for us to identify what it is we truly want and are dreaming of.
“Your jealousy is pointing you in the direction of your dreams, it’s like a compass showing you the next steps that you need to take!”
As a rule of thumb, if something makes you feel jealous, it’s something you want to be/do/have too. It therefore makes you look into an area of your life, business or path that you are currently not 100% happy about or satisfied with. For example, you may see someone who is doing something you really desire. They might be stepping up and out into the world, sharing their message, whatever it may be. Maybe the way they speak or present themselves rubs you the wrong way, and even worse: they seem to be successful with it!
Jealousy doesn’t always come in the form of shiny objects that are easy to identify as desires. Sometimes we get jealous that this person is doing something that we deep down desire to do too.
Have you ever felt really inspired by someone only to have it quickly followed by a sinking and contracting feeling of frustration and apprehension? Maybe you said things to yourself such as, “I am not that good,” or “good enough” or “I could never x, y, z.”
If you allowed yourself to see and acknowledge that you might be jealous underneath those comparisons and feelings of frustration and inadequacy, you might be able to see that this jealousy in disguise can be a pointer - a pointer that’s showing you that this person is living a path that you would actually love to live yourself.
Your jealousy is pointing you in the direction of your dreams, it’s like a compass showing you the next steps that you need to take!
If you channel and transform the energy of jealousy this way, you are performing alchemy and instead of feeling contracted, spiralling down and low in yourself, you’ll feel empowered, clearer, energised and more on track than ever. The people that challenge you therefore become your greatest catalysts for change. You can thank them for it!
