Emotions are a double edged sword

Negative emotions like envy, anxiety, anger, etc. can be your greatest weapon or what destroys you. 

Instead of avoiding them or trying to get rid of them, I’ve started to ask myself, “what is this saying about me?”

For example, jealousy. 

I was and still am a jealous dude. But I’m jealous of people because they have something I want. 

I used to lie to myself, “I don’t want that.” Then act like it was no big deal. But it would eat me up. 

So instead I let go of my ego and started 

learning from them. And got what I wanted. I also realized that just because someone else had it didn’t mean I couldn’t. 

The more important issue was fixing my priorities to be jealous of the right things (wealth not riches, respect not being liked, ownership not flexing).
